Growing Forward

What is the Growing Forward Program?
The Farm Business Development Initiative helps farmers to develop business plans and enhance business skills in nine business practice areas. Some possible uses for the funds, depending on the type and size of producer, are:

• Business Strategy
• Marketing Strategy
• Production Economics
• Human Resources
• Financial Management
• Environmental Strategy
• Succession Planning
• Business Structure
• Risk Management


Why The Hurry to Get Into The Program?
• This program was introduced October 27, 2009 by Sask. Ag, but is being actively marketed now.
• There is a limited pot of money – once an individual’s application is in, the money is earmarked for them and comes out of the pot.
• The work on the action items does not have to be completed until December 2012.
• When the money is all designated, it’s gone! That’s why we need to get our client’s there first!
