“The Government of Saskatchewan is looking at all the options available to support the producers at this time,” he said. “We are encouraging producers to take advantage of our existing programs and services we have in the province.”
For the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation’s purposes, when crops are severely damaged and the appraised yield falls below an established threshold level, the yield is reduced to zero. As there is a feed shortage, the corporation is doubling the low yield appraisal threshold values for those who salvage their cereal or pulse crops as feed, without negatively impacting future individual coverage.
