Saskatchewan’s $2.4 billion crop insurance payout in 2021 was the largest in the province’s history.
“The drought of 2021 demonstrated the value in risk management programs, such as Saskatchewan’s Crop Insurance, to ensure producers have the best coverage to meet their needs. I encourage producers to continue to subscribe to government programs and private insurance that will protect their crops against ongoing climate-related challenges,” Federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau said.
Addressing the hot, dry conditions seen in 2021, this year’s program features a heat adjustment factor that reduces precipitation calculations when temperatures reach 31 C or higher.
