    rook, as you said hailed was on Aug 4, if it is canola crop, look for pod bruise, pod break off, tell adjustor to slow down and do more time searching for pod bruise and pod break off. It is only count 10 plants so they has time do that. And make sure write down on paper after each plant count. As I have seen one of adjustor throw out canola plant that is not count somewhat mix up and when count is done and add total sum into memory with out paper to backup verify the total counts (10 plants) which is why I caught them doing so. Don't trust brain memory count, do paper or you can bring paper and when an adjustor is counting and tell you the percent of damage and you can put that down paper. Hope that little help. I has 2 insurances, and Sask Hail Insurance Company, is best or better than AFSC as I have noticed. Already adjust on my canola and happy with Sask Hail Ins Company. Now it is AFSC turn.

      Hail insurance is a scam. I've never been happy
      let alone satisfied after dealing with adjusters.
      Always feel that it's a judgement call they make.
      Just enough Sask crop insurance to stay in the
      program.

      We went with Global AG Risk this year. Actual
      accrual statements and you know where you are
      at the end of the year. Math

        Forgot to emotion mbatrud had a great rant in
        grain news a few weeks back.
        It's worth the read and his points on not signing on
        are well worth it.

          It wasn’t a rant, Ok maybe a little one.

          Because of our experience last year which I wrote about. We insure through 4 unaffiliated companies. We had a storm on July 25, settled with 3 within a couple weeks. The 4th Municipal was out today, and my 3 earlier assessments made today much smoother than it could have been. You have to insure, but split your risk up with multiple companies.

          If you appeal, make the appeal happen quick, if you appeal the appeal be prepared to loose. Time is not your friend.

          Side note everyone of the adjusters that came had read my article.

              Follow the adjustor and watch what he or
              she doing and be bossy. I did and point
              the plant that loss and many time
              adjustor overlook so u be bossy and
              count will increase. Good luck with
              adjustor, rook.

                Lentils are adjusted very poorly. Early hail storms
                leave Lentils and peas very susceptible to
                disease once the plants are damaged. The 11/2
                premium rate should compensate the companies.
                Canola and Mustard also.

                  NEW FLASH All insurance, not just crap
                  insurance is a fraudulent scheme
                  designed ta make money for insurance
                  companies. UNLESS you have a claim,
                  then adjusters ***** working for the
                  insurance company, ta get them outta the
                  claim fer as little as possible, set
                  upon ya and stroke ya, and talk nice ta
                  ya all with the intent of f&*king ya and
                  makin ya happy at the same time. Don't
                  listen ta them, theys the enemy gonna
                  cheatya each and ever time. The policy
                  only allows ya the right to sue,
                  basically, ifn ya don't agree with the
                  fu*kers......... LIFE LESSON

                    Get used to Waiting boys, there are VERY Few adjusters around. Most companies are beggin for help. And the deeper we get into CLIMATE change the more eratic weather.

                    Insurance company claims have been going up for a number of years due to weather changes
