2008 Advance Payments Program
Federal Assistance to the Livestock Sector
Through the Advance Payments Program (APP), producers can get repayable cash advances to help
improve their cash-flow.
As part of a national action plan to help hog and cattle producers, improvements have been made to
the APP for 2008 to give livestock producers easier access to cash advances, including:
• Removing the requirement for livestock producers to use a Business Risk Management (BRM)
program as security for a cash advance and allowing producers to use only inventory as security.
Producers are still required to participate in an eligible BRM program to get a cash advance.
• Declaring that a state of severe economic hardship exists for the cattle and hog sectors so that
emergency advances of up to $400,000 are available to eligible producers for the 2008-09
production period.
To apply for the 2008 APP, contact a participating producer organization by visiting
agr.gc.ca/app or call 1-888-346-2511.
