Sask crop insurance ???

[LEP]

No issues here. Claim assessed and paid here, including loss of grade.

If I put in a claim in Sept, I surely wouldn't wait until now without followup. Perhaps your claim wasn't entered properly or at all.

PS. Anyone saying take your lawyer with you is ridiculous.

Guys in drought area for 6 years have no coverage at all. Why arent our farm
groups taking to task about this??? High premiums in drought area paying for
big coverage in areas with rain????? Nothing like getting kicked in the balls by
your gov of sask and yet paying for areas that should be able to afford more
premium beyond stupid set up we re not automobiles and houses this is our
livelihood.
enjoy your posts Case but in your area and drought area is night and day to speak
about you can sleep with your high coverage and low premium could and would you
with high premium and no coverage?

How can high production areas subsidize low production areas sustainably long term?

[the big wheel]

Ha ha ha what a question to ask. If you re not concerned about sustaining farm families then you ask this question. If you are concerned then you ask how is it sustainable for a family farm through no fault of their own to subsidize those that dont need the subsidy???? The amounts that governments subsidize farms is so petty compared to oil and gas for one there should not even be a debate about having a universal dollar per
acre guarantee.

Is there an actual desire to keep farms going or not? Because the next 6 years could be reversed and those who have been in good weather could face foreclosure also? Is that a stable agriculture policy?

One would have to ask are govs more concerned about their friends that own land companies purchasing land or are they concerned about sustaining farms?

No I agree , there sure should be something in it for areas experiencing multiple years through no fault of their own , it’s not perfect but the private ones sure weren’t
a lot of the current problems were created because guys tried to “farm crop ins” although those days are long gone
we are luckier here than most areas and I sure don’t mean to put anyone down with low coverages . I guess we are lucky we have an insurance, like Mallee says in Oz , “you sink or swim”

[the big wheel]

Yes I know you arent trying to put anyone down, its just an issue that no one is
talking about. parlty because the monets types etc buy it up and no one cares except the small towns that also suffer .
And our ag minister will again be having meetings with canola growers, wheat and barley and cattlemen with Apas and the agenda will be how do we help keep family farms going??? its insane

Big wheel we actually experienced similar in BSE and in the wet years from 2005-2013.
The poor cattle guys just slowly got the shaft some hung on most quit on the east side of the province. The wet/flood years they came up with a too wet to seed option on crop insurance, maybe they need a too dry to seed option as well. Im only speaking about Sask.

Crap Insurance is presently sitting with the Philadelphia lawyers. We all know what’s going on. They will make it so it doesn’t pay to “farm for the program”.

Don’t forget it was our fault it didn’t rain in 21 and 23 according to the “Mighy Moe”.

High leveraged farms depending on crop insurance if it doesn’t rain will soon be in trouble. Coverages will be lower due to plummeting prices and premiums increased due to droughts.

You conveniently forget to mention how the Canadian and provincial taxpayers are paying for a portion of your premium. So me as a farmer, I am not only paying 100% of my own crop insurance, i am also paying a portion of yours. So don't tell me your not getting subsidized.
