Planning on planting new or additional acres of winter small grains this fall? You can apply for funding! 

EFAO’s Small Grains Program is now accepting applications for farmers planting a winter small grain in 2023 for harvest in 2024 followed by a legume cover crop.

This intake is open until July 17th, 2023 at 9:59 AM.

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.
