Overview 

All farm businesses in Ontario that gross $7,000 or more annually are required by law to register their farm business with Agricorp.

There are two distinct benefits to registering your farm business:

• Farm property class tax rate - You may qualify to pay 25 per cent of the municipal residential rate on your agricultural land.
• Membership in a general farm organization - With a valid FBR number, you can obtain a membership in one of the three general farm organizations: 
• Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario (CFFO)
• National Farmers Union - Ontario (NFU-O)
• Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA)
