The federal and provincial governments have announced increased 2026 interim payment amounts for AgriStability.
Interim payments for 2026 will be set between 50% and 75% of the estimated final amount, instead of being fixed at 50%. This increase is meant to help farmers manage challenges they’re facing this year, such as rising input costs for fuel and fertilizer.
To apply for an interim payment, farmers need to:
- be enrolled in AgriStability for the 2026 program year
- have completed 6 months of their fiscal year
- fill out and submit an Interim Payment Application
About AgriStability
AgriStability protects farmers from large declines in their farming income caused by production loss, increased costs, or market conditions. If a farmer’s margin falls below 70% of their recent average, AgriStability helps to offset the difference.
