Disaster Financial Assistance (DFA) for Farms
About this program
Manitoba's standing program for uninsurable damage to farms from a declared disaster such as flooding. It covers only essential needs and work to restore basic function, not full replacement. Farms apply within 90 days of a DFA program announcement, and no assistance is paid where insurance was available.
Eligibility
Manitoba farms with yearly gross revenue under $15M that suffered uninsurable damage in an event covered by an approved DFA program.
