AgriStability resources and 2026 guidance updated
AgriStability’s resources and supporting guidance were updated with new process materials, including a 2027 Interim Payment Application section and revised missing-margin information guides that now spell out participation rules, filing requirements, and submission routes through My AAFC Account, mail, and fax. The handbook and consolidated program guidelines also changed material terms: the 2025 compensation rate remains shown as 80% in the main program description, but the handbook source now states a 2025-only increase from 80% to 90% and a maximum payment increase from $3 million to $6 million, while the consolidated guidelines add a new grazing-related rule effective beginning with the 2026 Program Year. Several dates and deadlines are now explicit in the guide materials, including the June 30, 2027 and September 30, 2027 filing dates and a late-filing penalty, and the resources page also retargeted fact-sheet links to in-page anchors and added a new 2027 interim payment materials
