Dairy Farmers of Canada and Lactanet

Working with Dairy Farmers of Canada and Lactanet, FCC has created an incentive program for eligible FCC customers. The criteria to qualify is a combination of herd sustainability metrics and proAction® environment module results.

Producers on milk recording with Lactanet can use the Herd Sustainability Index results, while those not on milk recording can qualify by providing similar metrics.

About the incentive

Incentive payments are calculated as a portion of your FCC lending, up to a maximum of $4,000 per year, and participants can reapply for the incentive once each program year for the life of the program.

Recognizing sustainability progress

As the program continues to grow, we’re introducing an additional tier to strengthen the program and better reflect our customers’ progression to sustainability. This approach preserves the high standards that define industry leadership while recognizing that sustainability is a journey built through ongoing effort and improvement.

Foundational

Recognizes producers who are engaged and are progressing along their sustainability journey. This improves access while still creating a clear pathway for higher performance over time. Recipients who meet the Foundational tier are eligible for an incentive payment of up to $2,000.

Enhanced

Recognizes producers who demonstrate high sustainability performance. Existing standards remain unchanged, ensuring advanced outcomes continue to be clearly differentiated, valued and rewarded. Recipients who meet the Enhanced tier are eligible for an incentive payment of up to $4,000.

The application period is June 1, 2026, to January 31, 2027.
