Niagara West MPP Sam Ootserhoff says farmers in Niagara and beyond work long hours and take on significant risks every growing season.
But he says they will not have to deal with extreme weather and fluctuating market prices alone, thanks to a $50 million investment from the Ford Government.
The province is expanding the agricultural Risk Management Program a year earlier than expected, bringing its total cost to $150 million annually.
It helps farmers and growers deal with unforeseen challenges that arise.
They have until the end of July to submit an application.
