AgriInvest deadlines updated
The AgriInvest fact sheets now show the 2025 program-year filing deadlines, with the deadline section updated to the June 30, 2026 initial filing deadline and the September 30, 2026 final filing deadline. The older Sept. 30/Dec. 31 deadline block is no longer shown in that section. A separate 2025 program-year deadlines page also added two time-based requirements: the 2025 income tax return filing deadline for eligible farming business income (loss), and the fiscal year-end deadline for having the agri-environmental risk assessment in place. The visible text does not show changes to who can apply, eligible commodities, funding rates, or the core submission channel.
