Sask Crop insurance!

Not sure why you are crying. That is the contract. Been there for
years. Are you willing to pay more for crop insurance to get that
deduction removed. Last time I tried a claim it works out to about
$5 /flooded acre. This year maybe a little over $40. Got my bill for
seeded, but still haven't heard on unseeded. I expect we will see
the check January 11, dated 2010.

Yea I would pay more for a decent program. One where you can pick your coverage and pay the price. Instead get a bill that shows 180,000.00 then discount for no claims then that is divided between the two levels of government and the final is left for you to pay. BLA BLA BLA. Got the bill last week and this week got the check. Just was saying all the BS that farmers will be getting so much cash is plain BS. Once all the deductions are taken off will cost the Govt very little.

Just got the application, took less than a week to get it. Then had to download it anyway after I screwed it up.

We apparently have here the department of complaining about everything. Here in AB we are getting $25 for unseeded acres from crop insurance and if you have sprayed or worked the land you get an additional $10. If you put down fert last fall or so you can get an additional $35. They also deduct 5% of the acres in a quarter off of the base. So if 30 acres unseed on a perfect quarter section you get paid on 30-8=22 acres. Looks like your getting a deal in Sask. This is only crop ins.: the $30 from the feds would be on top of this. The federal money is paid on the seeded and flooded as well as the unseeded acres.

Got my chegue from crop insurance last week already, sooner than I thought it would come. They said I didn't have to fill out anything more for the thirty dollar payout.

[carebear300]

That is true carebear so long as your acres of actual flooded out now are the same as what you have reported with crop insurance. Many of us have lost lots of acres since mid June and therefore those acres are eligible.

Your crop insurance and the r0 buck program acres do not have to agree.

They are working cropping intenstity and your coverage levels into the calculations and the cropping intensity, like everything else crop insurance, is a fictional number plucked out of thin air probably based off of how your grandpa used to farm. That's why the payments are getting pared down the way the are.

[fjlip]

If you take the $30 on flooded after seeding, do your insured acres decrease? Rather get insurance at $200 than $30 if in a claim situation.

[fjlip]

No it will not change your crop insurance information Fjlip. Because the impact of the flooding was after normal crop ins deadlines, the info does not have to be consistent
