With the drought currently affecting a sizeable part of Outaouais, Laurentides, and Laval, we are already seeing impacts on hay and field crops. We wish to remind you that the Financière agricole (FADQ) requires a notice of damage in cases where yields are affected; this is an essential step for those wishing to obtain compensation.
Farmers struggling with the drought need to know that it is important to keep a record of the situation (with photos, invoices, etc.). These records may be used by the Federation, which maintains close contact with the FADQ. FADQ officials have shown themselves to be sensitive to the current situation.
