The deadline to apply for the Canadian Farm Families Options Program for Year one has passed. Please look for information on Year 2 of the Options Program in the spring of 2007.
Payments should have been issued within 30 days after the receipt of a complete application. If you have not received your payment, please contact the Canadian Farm Families Options Program.
Included in this newsletter is a brief description of the Canadian Farm Business Advisory Services (CFBAS) and Canadian Agricultural Skills Service (CASS) activities. Each applicant must commit to completing one of these activities in order to receive assistance but these activities are also open to all other farmers.
For further information on the Canadian Farm Families Options Program refer to the Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada website (www.agr.gc.ca) or contact your local Collins Barrow office with any questions you may have.
