Farmers and ranchers across Alberta already juggle enough — fluctuating markets, unpredictable weather, regulatory requirements and the daily demands of running an operation. Finding the right government contact or program information should not add to that workload.
That’s where Alberta’s 310-FARM service comes in.
Operated by the Government of Alberta, 310-FARM is an information and referral line designed to serve as a dependable first point of contact for producers, agri-businesses and rural residents.
Staffed by resource agents familiar with Alberta’s agricultural landscape, the service helps callers navigate provincial programs, regulatory requirements and available supports. While the team may not always provide direct answers, they specialize in connecting producers with the right department, subject-matter expert or industry contact.
The service supports key agricultural programs including:
- Alberta Farm Fuel Benefit
- Premises Identification Program
- Farmers’ Advocate Office
Producers can call for assistance with:
- Programs and financial supports
- Eligibility and applications for the Alberta Farm Fuel Benefit
- Funding opportunities under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership
- Help navigating agricultural grants or checking application status
- Livestock and premises matters
- Registering or updating a Premises Identification (PID) account
- Livestock movement requirements
- Animal health and disease-related contacts
- Regulations and compliance
- Permits and approvals
- Environmental regulations, manure management and water use
- Inspection or compliance clarification
- Operational guidance
- Crop, soil, pest and irrigation information
- Rat control, wild boar and invasive species
- Farm safety resources
In an industry where time is money, having a single starting point can save producers both frustration and effort. Whether dealing with paperwork, livestock issues or exploring funding options, 310-FARM aims to ensure Alberta’s agricultural sector stays informed and supported.
Producers can dial 310-FARM from anywhere in Alberta to access the service.
