As the 2026 program year begins, new enhancements to AgriStability are available to Saskatchewan producers. The program is designed to better support operations in challenging conditions.
Whether you are a returning participant or considering enrolling for the first time, here is what you need to know.
New Enhancements for Livestock Producers

This permanent change ensures the fluctuation in inventories intended for on-farm use – not for sale – are valued more accurately, especially in dry years.
