Farm Production Services

Running a farm in Yukon comes with unique challenges, from short growing seasons to soil management and access to markets. For producers looking to strengthen their operations and make informed decisions, the Farm Production Services program offers practical, hands-on guidance tailored to northern agriculture. Delivered by the Government of Yukon’s Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, this initiative focuses on helping farmers improve productivity, sustainability, and long-term viability through expert advice rather than direct financial contributions.

Through Farm Production Services, Yukon farmers can access support on day-to-day and strategic issues such as farm management practices, crop and livestock production, and identifying pests and weeds common to the region. The program also provides guidance on responsible pesticide use, fertilizer needs and alternatives, and conservation-focused approaches, including organic practices. For producers thinking about the future, advice on new agricultural technologies, marketing farm products, and navigating farm financing options can help clarify next steps and reduce risk when planning changes or investments.

This service is well suited to both established farms and newer agricultural businesses that want credible, region-specific insight before making important decisions. Support is generally available on an ongoing basis to businesses meeting certain requirements, making it a valuable resource throughout the farming season.
