DUNNVILLE—Farm Credit Canada (FCC) is offering financial support to farmers who found their overall yields severely impacted by the short, warm spring weather this year. The offer is valid to any farmers across Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia who are experiencing cash flow issues as a result of the impact.

“We have been monitoring this situation closely and understand the challenges that come with the business,” said Sophie Perreault, FCC Executive Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer, in announcing the customer support program. “This year’s unusually low maple syrup production in parts of Eastern Canada has certainly been difficult for many producers, and we are ready to step up and support customers in need.”
