Season Extension
The Farm Loan Board is committed to supporting innovation and sustainability in the agricultural industry. We are now pleased to offer enhanced lending options for producers participating in the Season Extension Enhancement Program delivered by Horticulture Nova Scotia.
This initiative was developed to help support fruit and vegetable growers with infrastructure and technology that extend the growing season—such as greenhouses, cold storage, irrigation and energy-efficient heating and lighting.
