How Repayments Work
Repayments shall be applied in the following order:
- To the outstanding amounts on which the AAFC pays the interest (the interest-free portion).
- To the principal portion of the advance that is interest-bearing, if applicable.
- To any outstanding penalty interest charged by Alberta Grains (FarmCash).
- To any unpaid fees or costs charged to the producer by Alberta Grains (FarmCash).
-
In the event that multiple advances remain outstanding, repayments shall first be applied to any accounts in default (if applicable), and thereafter, repayments shall be applied to the oldest outstanding advance.
Repayment Requirements
- Producers are required to repay their Advance as they sell the commodities listed on their Advance.
- Repayment is required within 30 calendar days of receipt of payment. Repayments submitted outside of those deadlines may be subject to an interest penalty.
- Minimum repayment is calculated by multiplying the Advance Rate in effect at time of issuance by the number of units sold.
- Continuous flow producers are obligated to repay in full either 12 months from the issue date or by the end of the production period, whichever occurs first.
- Proof of sale documentation for repayments made directly to Alberta Grains (FarmCash) must be submitted no later than the end of the production period. Proof of sale documentation is mandatory in all instances, except as specifically outlined below for crops.
- The following information must be included in an acceptable proof of sale document:
- Date of Sale
- Name of Seller (including contact information)
- Name of Buyer (including contact information)
- Type of Agricultural Product Sold
- Quantity of Agricultural Product Sold
- Net Amount Received for the Sale of Agricultural Product
- Proof of sale must accompany repayments made on all Storable Agricultural Products advances between February 1, 2026, and September 30, 2026.
- Proof of sale must accompany all repayments made on Livestock advances between April 1, 2025, and March 31, 2027.
- Repayments made without proof of sale for amounts exceeding the greater of $10,000 or 10% of the total advance amount will incur an interest penalty at the RBC Prime rate plus 1% (Prime + 1%).
- For crop advances, proof of sale documentation is not required for repayments made from the beginning of the production period until January 31, 2026.
