CONSULTING SERVICES
GOVERNMENT FUNDING ASSISTANCE
OFCAF and S-CAP government funding programs are available for Canadian and Albertan producers. Let me help you find the program that fits your needs. These programs usually cover consulting costs.
overview & Highlights
On-Farm Climate Action Fund
Results-Driven Agriculture Research (RDAR) is a funding organization that powers agricultural research. It is a delivery partner with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, which distributes funds to Canadian farmers and ranchers who have applied to this funding program.

Cover Cropping
Nitrogen Management
Rotational Grazing
If eligible, you can apply for funding in either or all three main categories. Each area requires a BMP (best management practice) action plan. These forms guide you on the steps you must take in each area, the equipment and materials needed (and those ineligible for funding), and what is expected upon implementing the plan.
Note that you MUST have a CCA or P.Ag on these applications to show that it has been reviewed and approved before submission.
This is a great time to start with an independent agronomist. The first consultation to determine eligibility is free.
overview & highlights
Sustainable Canadian Agriculture Partnership
The grant programs under Sustainable CAP (or S-CAP) provide funding for Canadian farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses who wish to apply for programs to enhance their operations further.
The program covers quite a lot, but these are highlighted:
- Fencing riparian areas as well as adding fencing (both internal and perimeter)
- Establishing native or tame forages or increasing legume plant species
- Putting in shelterbelts, eco-buffers and pollinator strips
- Intercropping for grain harvest
- Cover crops for feed, grazing, or as green manure
- Establishing or improving wetlands
I will help you decide which program is the right fit for you so that you can get started implementing it–something you’ve undoubtedly wanted to do for a while.
The first consultation to determine eligibility is free.
