The province is tacking another year onto the grain and oilseed Risk Management Program.
The pilot program was to have run out with the 2009 crop year.
Agriculture Minister Carol Mitchell announced this morning it is being extended to cover the 2010 crop year.
The program helps farmers offset losses causd by low grain and oilseed commodity prices.
Farmers who got assistance in 2008 and/or 2009 can take part in the extended program.
It's also open to farmers who began farming on or after January 1st of 2008.
Ontario Grains and Oilseeds Chair Leo Guilbeault says this shows leadership at the provincial level - and it's now up to the federal government to do it's part.
