Crop insurance

Droughts not over, sticking with 80%.

Only choice to make is whether to use “In Crop Pricing” or not.

Sticking with 80% no hail here as well. AFSC kept the price of wheat quite low at 8.98 for high protien HRSW. I have sold a tiny bit of #2HRSW 13.5% @ 13 for Oct already. In Alberta Variable price benefit is standard which helped around here last year. Them choosing a low initial price helps keep the premium low but the payout if we stay dry could rise quite a bit above their projection.

Upping FLOOD damage also here, frost be major concern too.

Agristabity should reflect current valuations.

Upping FLOOD damage also here, frost be major concern too.

Getting a growing season and getting rid of the snow is a priority in these parts. 80% OLD snow cover left.

Climate change, fjlip, climate change. I find repeating the mantra helps over time.

80% coverage including $100 per ac unseeded acreage coverage.

If we get any significant kind of rain in may there are going to be acres too wet to seed.

We dropped that to $70
Dropped premium 80% on that coverage
Have never collected on that I don’t think ?
Even in the swamp
It sure isn’t one of their stellar programs we have found
Many Formulas kick the shit outta it

Went 80% on everything. Seasonal price option on canola. Figured we may as well go all in. We've never been this dry going into seeding.

Stayed at 80% on oil seeds just because it’s the only reason we still have a farm over the last 10 years. Absolutely necessary.

[Guest]

we did the same , left canola at 80 , rest at 70, alfalfa seed at 50
Got lucky last year had everything at 70 for years except canola at 80
Bumped everything to 80 last year , worked out good
I’m sure my luck has run out tho

We went to 80% last few years but this year went into CAP at 70 % premium for 85% coverage. Unsure if that was the right move as in past we have had a claim on one crop and not others. This program means one Good crop will Offset a Poor crop. Crystal Ball is a little cloudy, so time will tell

I left my wheat and canola at 80%, which is 3/4 of the farm this year. Lowered peas and lentils to 70%. Little snow cover and majority of standing water that there was broke through the frost and has disappeared. The drought feels far from over .
