Crop Insurance

Agriculture Financial Services (AFSC) provides crop insurance for annual and perennial crops as well as honey and bee overwintering.

Through the suite of options available, AFSC brings producers peace of mind by helping make risk-management decisions that fit the unique needs of each operation. Insurance is available to any producer who meets AFSC eligibility requirements. Applicants are required to provide legal, operational and financial information.

This agreement is Canada’s and Alberta’s commitment to agriculture, and focuses on achieving results, reflects input from across the sector, and strives to deliver programs that are responsive to the needs of producers.
