Farm cash receipts for Canadian farmers totalled $70.6 billion for the first three quarters of 2024, down 3.0% (-$2.2 billion) from the same period in 2023. Receipts for crops (-$3.8 billion) and program payments (-$51.2 million) fell, while receipts for livestock (+$1.7 billion) rose.
The declines in receipts in the Prairies and Quebec more than offset increases in receipts in the other provinces. Saskatchewan (-$1.5 billion) accounted for over two-thirds of the decrease in receipts compared with 2023.
