Producers still have the option to supplement the Unseeded Acreage Benefits of $70 per eligible acre by purchasing either $15 or $30 per acre additional coverage, for up to $100 per eligible acre.
In 2013, the Crop Insurance Program includes increased yields for hard red spring wheat, hard white spring wheat, and oats as part of the yield trending formula; increased Established Benefit values for field peas, canola, and identity preserved canola; and expansion of the insurable area for soybeans and the Corn Heat Unit Program.
"We are providing record funding, record coverage levels, and further program improvements to help producers mitigate risk. I strongly encourage all producers to consider Crop Insurance as part of their management plans this year, particularly with the late spring and snowfall levels throughout the province," said agriculture minister, Lyle Stewart.
The local Crop Insurance office can answer anymore questions producers may have or assist them with insurance purchases and changes.
