"To date we received approximately 46,000 applications. We are anticipating about another 6,000 applications, which means almost one in eight producers has not yet applied," says Knapp The $324 million Farm Income Assistance Program 2002 (FIAP 2002) was announced on July 17, 2002 by the Honourable Shirley McClellan, Deputy Premier and Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development. The program provides support to producers across Alberta who faced drought and other economic hardships in 2002. Payments include $10 per acre on tame hay and tame pasture, $ per acre on cultivated annual crops and $4 per acre on native forage. The program also provides payments of $4 SO per hive for honey producers, $ 100 per acre for perennial horticulture, and $ per square foot for greenhouse and mushroom production. To date, more than 90 per cent of those who have applied have received a payment, with over $2IS million already paid out to farmers and ranchers across Alberta. "We're beginning to hear from machinery dealerships, vet clinics, feedmills, bulk fuel and fertilizer dealers that their trade accounts are being paid down, so we know that this money is recirculating in rural Alberta," says Knapp. Applications will need to be postmarked, or fax timed no later than midnight November 30, 2002 to be eligible for payment. Knapp adds that he doesn't anticipate any extension to the deadline, so he encourages producers to apply immediately.
