Can you stack AgriStability and Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP)?
Yes. AgriStability and Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP) can be combined. They fund different things, so the trick is simple: apply to each separately and never claim the same dollar twice. Together they reach up to $200K+ in potential value.
AgriStability
Federal-provincial income margin protection for farmers. When your farm margin drops significantly below historical levels, AgriStability pays out. Essential safety net for the agricultural sector.
Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP)
Federal-provincial 5-year framework (2023 to 2028) funding agriculture and agri-food businesses. Includes cost-share programs for environmental practices, market expansion, and risk management.
How to stack them
- 01Confirm you meet each program's eligibility on its own. AgriStability and Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP) are assessed separately.
- 02Apply to each program through its own application. There is no combined form.
- 03Allocate distinct costs to each program. You cannot claim the same dollar of expense under both, but you can fund different parts of the same project.
- 04Track both deadlines and keep the paperwork separated, so each claim stands on its own.
Stacking rules vary by program and change over time. Confirm the current rules with each program, or take the quiz and we will flag the combinations you qualify for.
