Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan Farm Program Survey - Winter 2015/16

APAS Farm Program Survey

Welcome to the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan’s farm program survey. The purpose of the survey is to help APAS advocate on your behalf during a number of national discussions taking place regarding the adequacy of Growing Forward 2 (2013-2018) and in the development of recommendations for the next policy framework. As the province most affected by the implementation and design of federal farm programs, it is important that the voice of Saskatchewan producers is accurately reflected throughout these discussions. Thank you for participating!
