Today, Canadian Canola Growers Association (CCGA) issued the first cash advances under the 2025 Advance Payments Program (APP), providing over $310 million in working capital financing to more than 1,750 farmers across Western Canada.
“We’ve seen a substantial increase in spring applications compared to the same time in previous years,” says Dave Gallant, Vice-President, Finance & APP Operations at CCGA. “The need for spring cash flow to get the growing season started is top of mind with Western Canadian farmers this year.”
CCGA began accepting 2025 applications under the early application window in mid-February and will continue processing applications throughout the program year.
Every year, over 10,000 farmers in Western Canada benefit from the flexibility and cost savings of a cash advance from CCGA.
