The new deadline for the 2006 and 2005 crop year claims is Oct. 31. The original application deadline for the $50 million program was originally tomorrow. "To date, the program has received around 8,000 applications for claims on more than 2.5 million acres, Livestock sales trade steady The market at Denfield Livestock sales traded on a good demand at steady prices on all classes of fed cattle, with the fancy cattle selling at pre- mium prices, a large offering of cows met a good demand at steady prices.

"We are extending the applica- tion deadline to make sure every Canadian farmer affected by floods has the chance to apply," Strahl adds. The objective of the Cover Crop Protection Program is to provide one-time financial assistance to farmers who were unable to plant a commercial crop this year or in 2005 due to excess field moisture. The funds will help offset restoration costs for more than three million acres of affected farmland. As of mid-August, more than 800 payments totalling $3 million have been paid out to applicants with verified claims. Farmers, mainly in Saskatchewan and Manitoba where approximately 2.9 million acres of productive farmland were lost, can receive a one-time pay- ment of $15 per acre for flooded land. All farm operations across Canada affected by spring flooding in the 2006 or 2005 crop year are eligible to apply. Program application forms will be directly mailed to production insurance clients who made claims as a result of flooding losses in 2006 and 2005. three veal averaging 690 lbs, selling for an average of 120.43.
