Risk Management Program Grains and oilseeds
RMP: Grains and Oilseeds helps Ontario producers offset losses caused by low commodity prices and rising production costs. Payments are made if a crop's market prices fall below the annual support level. The support level is based on the industry average cost of producing a crop (target price), which is calculated annually by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness.

Eligible crops
Ontario-grown grain and oilseed crops, including farm-fed grains and crops grown for seed, are eligible for RMP: Grains and Oilseeds. Crops grown for plow-down are not eligible.
Eligible crops are classified as major or minor depending on the availability of target price and market price data. Typically, major crops are those most commonly grown in Ontario, so significant data is available. Because minor crops are not as commonly grown, less data is available. Major and minor crops are treated differently with respect to premiums, support prices and payments.
The following crops are eligible for RMP: Grains and Oilseeds:
Major crops
Barley
Black beans

About the funding
RMP: Grains and Oilseeds helps Ontario producers offset losses caused by low commodity prices and rising production costs. Payments are made if a crop's market prices fall below the annual support level. The support level is based on the industry average cost of producing a crop (target price), which is calculated annually by the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Agribusiness.
Most minor crops are treated using a proxy approach — payments and your average farm yield (AFY) are assessed as if you had planted the major crop that covers the largest area in your county, according to Agricorp's database. Seed corn, organic corn, popping corn, cranberry, kidney, and Japan/adzuki and other beans,
hard white winter wheat and organic wheat are exceptions to this approach.
