Alberta farmers have until Oct. 31 to apply for two farm income assistance programs.

A $10.29 per acre federal-provincial payment program was announced in April to help farmers deal with high input costs.

On June 1, severe drought conditions prompted a $4 per acre payment program for native forage and $4 per hive for honey producers.

More than $200 million has been paid to 33,000 applicants through the Canada-Alberta Farm Income Assistance Program. About $20 million has been paid through the native forage program.
