none

Value

The overall program funding maximum per applicant is $150,000 over the duration of the program term (2024-2028).

Description

The intent of the On-Farm Efficiency Program (OFEP) is to support producers in achieving environmental benefits by improving the efficient use of agricultural inputs. These practices contribute to environmental sustainability by:

  • reducing emissions
  • minimizing chemical runoff
  • promoting the efficient use of natural resources

New technologies that are progressive, commercially available, and that have already been successful in Alberta are most likely to be successful in applications.

Eligible Applicants

Eligible applicants

  • Primary producer that is:
    • responsible for the day-to-day management of an agricultural operation (such as an annual crop, bee, or livestock operation) in Alberta that produces at least $25,000 worth of farm commodities annually
    • responsible for input costs for that operation
    • not a landlord whose only interest in the operation is ownership
  • Approved Indigenous applicants (First Nation, Métis Nation, Inuit)

Eligible Expenses

The program has 4 Streams. The maximum funding per Stream over the duration of the program is:

  • $50,000 for Smart Farm Technology
  • $50,000 for Energy Efficiency
  • $2,000 for Farm Security
  • $100,000 for Efficient Grain Handling

The program aims to support the adoption of innovative technology that optimizes farm efficiency, minimizes agricultural waste, advances the digitalization of an operation, and/or gathers information that will help the producer knowledgeable enhance their operation.
