Farm Credit Canada (FCC) is prepared to work with Manitoba customers concerned about financial hardship due to the flooding caused by torrential rainfall, snowmelt and waterway ice jams, the company says in a press release earlier today.
“Widespread flooding along the Red River, combined with heavy rain that recently blanketed parts of western Manitoba, has not only forced the evacuation of some communities, but has also disrupted some farm operations during this critical planting season,” said Shannon Weatherall, senior vice-president of FCC’s Prairie operations.
“We want to assure customers who find themselves financially vulnerable as a result of these circumstances that FCC will work with them to explore all options for addressing any short-term cash flow problems.”
