Hurricane Helene Block Grant for Georgia producers - closed, in payment

Georgia Department of Agriculture

Georgia's disaster payment to farmers, ranchers and foresters in eligible counties for losses Hurricane Helene caused and no existing USDA programme covers: timber, on-farm infrastructure, poultry production cycles, beef and dairy conception rates, milk and dairy feed, pecans, blueberries, citrus, nursery crops, plasticulture and bare-ground practices.

The catch: The application period has closed and applications are being reviewed. Nothing is settled yet: the Department of Agriculture states that applicants will be told if they are eligible and asked to sign an agreement with an award amount, that "payment amounts will not be finalized until all applications reach final review", and that the schedule for distributing payments will be announced later. If you applied, the useful thing to watch for is that announcement. Minimum loss requirements apply to every category.

Alberta Farm Fuel Benefit

Alberta Agriculture and Irrigation

Verbatim: eligible producers "receive a 9-cent-per-litre provincial fuel tax exemption on the purchase of dyed gasoline and diesel," plus a full exemption on propane and aviation fuel used for farming.

The catch: It is a tax exemption, not a payment: the money only exists if you buy fuel, and it arrives as a lower price on dyed product rather than as a cheque. The eligibility floor has a carve-out worth knowing about - a producer with $5,000 to $9,999 of production still qualifies if their only other significant income is CPP or OAS, which is aimed squarely at retired small producers. A carbon-levy exemption is widely attributed to this program in search results, is not on the official page, and is not recorded here.

AgriInvest

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada

Verbatim: "Each year, you can deposit up to 100% of your Allowable Net Sales to your AgriInvest account and receive a matching government contribution on 1% of your Allowable Net Sales."

The catch: The withdrawal order costs money and is the opposite of what most people assume. Fund 2 holds "government contributions and interest (included in income for tax purposes)" and it empties before Fund 1, which holds "your deposits (not taxable)" - so the first dollar out is the taxable one. There is also a new requirement to have an agri-environmental risk assessment in place to receive the matching government contributions, which is a new gate on existing money and is easy to miss on a program that has run unchanged for years.
