Changes to AgriStability for the 2026 program year have resulted in new supplementary forms. To ensure all program information is captured accurately, participants must use the 2026 forms, as older versions do not reflect the new requirements.
Key updates include:
- A new pasture-related feed costs form
- An updated Schedule 2: Crop Worksheet
Using outdated forms may result in missing information and processing delays.
File online through AFSC Connect (coming soon)
Supplementary form information for 2026 can be filed online through AFSC Connect as soon as the 2026 form is available.
Participants who file online have access to the most up-to-date program forms that feature built-in validation that helps identify missing or incorrect information before submission.
A pdf version of the updated forms is also available on AFSC.ca.
Changes to Statement A
In addition to the changes to the supplementary forms, a new Statement A commodity code for pasture related feed costs – code 586 – has been introduced. The code may not be available in some corporate tax software programs.
If code 586 is not available in your tax software, use code 9896 (other non-allowable expenses) on the Statement A and include the description “pasture related feed costs (586).”
Alternatively, Statement A information can be submitted through AFSC Connect.
Filing through AFSC Connect offers several benefits including:
- access to the correct commodity codes
- reduced wait times for AgriInvest deposit notices
- ability to submit Statement A information for both AgriStability and AgriInvest-only participants
- ability to submit Statement A information separately from supplementary forms
In addition, early fiscal year-end corporations can now access and submit their Statement A information through AFSC Connect as soon as their fiscal year-end has passed.
