Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) announced the extension of the OFCAF program for three years in January 2025 with the CFGA administering up to $16.1 million to continue to support farmers in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec in planning and implementing short-term rotational grazing practices.

Funding for this project in part has been provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada through the Agricultural Climate Solutions – On-Farm Climate Action Fund.
