As many farmers already know, small grains can offer big gains! But, trying something new on the farm comes with some uncertainty and risk. Recognizing the on-farm benefits and ecosystem services that diversified rotations provide, EFAO’s Small Grains Program addresses this risk by offsetting some of the cost of growing new acres of small grains. This program is open to  farmers and farms across Ontario, regardless of your agronomic practices.

The upcoming intake of the Small Grains Program is for farmers who will grow a spring-planted small grain followed by a legume cover crop in the 2023 season. The intake opened on December 1, 2022 at 10 AM and will close on December 16, 2022 at 11:59 PM.
