There are provisions in the programs. With the AgriStability program, for example, there is a targeted advance and interim payments. The government or the producer can apply to receive a payment that reflects the advance payment.

The AgriInvest program allows farmers to withdraw the money at their discretion.

Measures have already been put in place to ensure that producers can access a certain amount in the immediate future.
