Storm systems that moved through the Prairies at the end of June and first part of July resulted in some significant crop damage.
The Canadian Crop Hail Association says agents are following up on about 1200 hail claims from storms earlier this month and more are still coming in.
The storms resulted in up to golf ball sized hail in some areas, high winds and even tornadoes.
CCHA President Rick Omelchenko says adjusters are out in full force and are seeing some very light to severe loss across the three provinces.
"There was pea sized to golf ball sized hail, major wind that came down increasing the damage with the stones coming in. The faster the stones are coming, the more they penetrate and drive forward to the ground. The damage to the crops are very severe in the middle, there not really widespread. They taper off fairly quickly but in the center where the eye of the storm is it's really bad."
He notes heavy hit crops are mostly being deferred so they can assess the damage, adding that adjusters will be waiting on crops in the early stage to see if they recover.
