Gear Up for Spring with a CCGA Cash Advance

Your growing season gets off to a great start when you have everything you need. An Advance Payments Program (APP) cash advance from Canadian Canola Growers Association can help you get ready for what’s ahead this spring with financing that fits the operating needs of your farm. Join thousands of Western Canadian farmers who benefit from a cash advance every year.

Financing that fits your farm

When you take a cash advance from CCGA, you’ll benefit from a flexible financial tool you can use in whatever way works best for your farm business. Get the spring cash flow you need to purchase crop inputs, complete maintenance and repairs, buy feed, or cover other general operating expenses.

The cash advance was created specifically for farmers, so you repay as you sell your commodities, with up to 18 months to repay your advance on field crops or small livestock and up to 24 months for cattle.

Savings that make a difference

Benefit from an interest rate of 0.25% below prime, with the first $250,000 interest-free in 2025-2026. Lower your borrowing costs with a blended interest rate that’s always well below prime, on loans up to $1 million.

“When you use a cash advance from CCGA, you’re equipping yourself with a simple but powerful financial tool that offers great flexibility and significant interest cost savings,” says Dave Gallant, Vice-President, Finance & APP Operations at CCGA.

“If you’re going to borrow funds to run your farm, a cash advance is an option worth considering.”
