SUMMARY:Advance Payments Program
DESCRIPTION:The Advance Payments Program is a federal loan guarantee program which provides agricultural producers with easy access to low-cost cash advances.\n\nUnder the program\, you can access up to $1\,000\,000 in total advances based on the value of the eligible agricultural products you will produce or that you have in storage. The Government of Canada pays the interest on the first $100\,000 of your advance (the first $250\,000 for 2024 and 2025). You repay your advance as you sell the agricultural products\, with up to 18 months to fully repay the advance for most commodities (up to 24 months for cattle and bison).\n\nAPP advances can provide you with cash flow to meet your financial needs until you are able to sell your agricultural products. The program can provide marketing flexibility by allowing you to sell your agricultural products based on market conditions rather than the need for cash.\n\nAPP advances are available through 26 participating producer organizations\, that is\, APP Administrators\, across Canada.

SUMMARY:NFU-MB Zoom Drop-in: Reconciliation & Solidarity on Food Sovereignty
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Thursday\, August 21\, at 7 pm to connect with other NFU-Manitoba members and supporters on reconciliation and acting in solidarity with Indigenous peoples fighting for food sovereignty. \n\n\n\nIndigenous peoples’ diverse knowledges\, worldviews and political economies provide crucial guidance for building more respectful\, collaborative\, just and life-affirming relationships with one another and the Earth. \n\n\n\nPlease join us on Thursday\, August 21\, at 7 pm to connect with other NFU-Manitoba members and supporters on reconciliation and acting in solidarity with Indigenous peoples fighting for food sovereignty. \n\n\n\nIndigenous peoples’ diverse knowledges\, worldviews and political economies provide crucial guidance for building more respectful\, collaborative\, just and life-affirming relationships with one another and the Earth. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImportantly\, the work of NFU members over many decades\, along with Indigenous-led learning circles\, have laid the groundwork for a resolution passed at our 2023 national convention to create an Indigenous Solidarity Strategy where Indigenous and non-Indigenous/settler NFU members can work across committees and caucuses to reflect on and educate ourselves about Indigenous sovereignties\, land justice\, and rematriation. \nPlease join us for an open discussion on these important topics co-led by Matthew Wiens\, regional representative\, and our regional organizer\, Leanna Wiebe. Matthew will provide further context for the NFU’s Indigenous Solidarity Strategy and where this work is at today. Afterwards\, Leanna will lead a round-table discussion on possible opportunities and pathways for action in Manitoba. \nZoom Drop-ins are a crucial way to connect with the NFU-Manitoba community. Most of the event will be yours for open discussions\, building connections among our members\, and collective strategizing for action. We hope to see you there! \n\n\n\nZoom Link
