  • have acceptable agricultural knowledge and business skills, and an acceptable credit history, 
  • show an acceptable amount of equity in the business,
  • provide acceptable security for the proposed financing,
  • propose a land that has not had any agricultural crop produced or harvested during the previous 2 years, excluding unimproved forage land,
  • have a business plan that shows reasonable chances of viability and that demonstrates that a demand exists for the product(s),
  • work on a project that fits with the province’s sector strategies (in terms of impact on agricultural land, jobs, export sales, markets, etc.).
