Below is taken from the CWBA web site that compares Crop Insurance premiums in Manitoba and Saskatchewan GREAT CANADIAN GRAIN ROBBERY CWBAFACTS.CA
This was from 2015 you will note that a farmer in Saskatchewan was paying about $11.00 an acre more for Crop Insurance than a Manitoba farmer for identical coverage. This year farmer premiums increase dramatically. Where is this money going?
It should be noted that with premier Pallister now in charge in Manitoba premiums are now increasing dramatically as well.
THERE NEEDS TO BE A Full INVESTIGATION OF SASK CROP INSURANCE Where is the money going???
You will also note that the CWBA predicted that if Harper was reelected the plan was to end Crop Insurance This was in the works because the talk in Ottawa with farm organizations was "shouldn't the farmer be allowed to buy insurance". Ritz was quite open about this.
Crop Insurance is a federal Provincial program where premiums are agreed to by provinces and the federal government.
TAXING CROP INSURANCE IS CLEARLY A VIOLATION OF THE ACT AND AGREEMENT BETWEEN FARMERS PROVINCES AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
I am not aware of any other province taxing their farmers crop insurance and hail insurance premiums
FROM CWBA The End of Crop Insurance
Agriculture Minister Ritz is on record as saying farmers should buy their own crop insurance. Currently crop insurance premiums are split between the farmer, their Provincial and the Federal governments. We believe that the Harper conservatives want to privatize crop insurance.
Here are two crop insurance contracts from SK and MB for 80% coverage of 50/50 canola and RS wheat and excess moisture insurance:
$/acre Sk Farmer Sask Gov. & Ottawa Total
$20.16 $27.84 $48.00
$/acre Mb Farmer Mb Gov. & Ottawa Total
$11.68 $16.12 $27.80
Do you trust Ritz and Harper to keep using government money to support your crop insurance costs? Can you afford forty-eight thousand dollars or more in private crop insurance for every thousand acres you farm?
Ritz and Harper have already drastically changed the margin calculations for Agri-Stability to make it more difficult to trigger pay outs. The government contribution to Agri-Invest has also been slashed.
