Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada says AgriInvest Deposit Notices will start to appear in producers’ mailboxes over the coming weeks with information on how and where to make their 2009 AgriInvest deposit.
Producers can now make their AgriInvest deposits at a participating financial institution of their choice. They must open an account and make their 2009 AgriInvest deposit by the deadline indicated on their Deposit Notice to receive a matching contribution from governments.
Existing funds currently held by the federal government will be transferred to the producer’s AgriInvest account held at their financial institution. Producers can request a withdrawal from their AgriInvest account through their financial institution at any time throughout the year.
The program is delivered by AAFC in all provinces except Quebec where it is delivered by La Financière agricole du Québec (FADQ). In Quebec, deposits will continue to be held by la FADQ.
