Spring cash advance one week earlier for Canola producers

The Canadian Canola Growers Association (CCGA) is accepting producer applications for the spring cash advance program one week earlier than last year. Producers interested in obtaining an advance on their intended seeded acres should contact the CCGA as soon as possible to get their applications processed before seeding.

"Spring inputs make for heavy cash flow demands on the farm and the spring advance program provides an important financing tool for these expenses," said Rick White, General Manager of the CCGA.

"By accepting applications earlier than last year and by improving on our on-line system we’ve made the Advance Payments Program even more accessible to western Canadian farmers."

Producers can apply for an Intended Seeded Pre-Harvest Advance through the convenient on-line system at www.ccga.ca or for those who prefer to complete their application with the assistance of an agent, contact the CCGA at 1-866-745-2256 to complete a telephone application. Applications will also be available at many local elevators beginning in April.
