Alberta producers who have completed an Environmental Farm Plan (EFP) are now eligible for up to $15,000 for several irrigation projects through the Canada-Alberta Farm Stewardship Program (CAFSP), an increase from $10,000. In the case of irrigation management, CAFSP funding can be used for projects such as equipment modification for water or nutrient use efficiency, backflow prevention equipment, and improved infiltration galleries and irrigation intake systems.
