• NEW $1,000,000 available to all farmers, which includes — ​
• up to $100,000 interest-​free for all eligible commodities, plus NEW​ an additional $400,000 interest-free limit for canola only,
  
• interest-bearing portion at 0.5% below prime rate​ (new, lower rate for 2019).

• 45 eligible commodities, including all major field crops and livestock

• Up to 18-month repayment period on all crops, honey, hogs, lambs, sheep and goats
