As we move into another busy season, RMA would like to remind members of our Guide for Declaring Municipal Agricultural Disasters in Alberta. RMA's guide provides municipalities with information on what a municipal agricultural disaster declaration is and factors to consider when making a declaration.

The Agricultural Financial Services Corporation AFSC is a provincial Crown corporation that provides farmers, agribusinesses, and other small businesses with loans, crop insurance, and farm income disaster assistance. AFSC provides information for municipalities considering an agricultural disaster declaration, which can be accessed on the AFSC website. More information can also be found on Alberta Agriculture and Irrigation's website.

If your municipality makes a declaration, please forward a copy of the declaration to joseph@rmalberta.com to allow RMA to track the number and location of declarations for advocacy purposes.
