Relief for farmers with un-harvested corn acres

Guelph, Ontario - Ontario farmers with unharvested corn still in the field may qualify for an emergency advance payment to a maximum of $ 25,000.

The Emergency Advance- co-ordinated by ACC Farmers' Financial- is intended to help farmers who still have unharvested acres in the field.

Poor weather conditions in the tail end of the 2008 growing season made it impossible for some farmers to complete harvest of their 2008 corn crop.

Application forms for the Emergency Advance are now available from ACC Farmers' Financial at www.accfarmersfinancial.ca or by phoning 1-888-278-8807.

Applications must be postmarked by Feb 28, 2009. Payments will be issued by March 31, 2009.
