MASC Expects Lower Claims This Year

Farmers have until November 30th to fill out their Harvested Production Reports for annual crops.

 

David Koroscil is Manager of Claims Services with Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation (MASC).

 

"Early indications are it was a pretty good year overall," he said. "I won't say bumper crop by any means, but well above coverage for most producers. It looks like our claim load will be less than it has been in the last three or four years. Still some issues though. Canola, soybeans seeing some pockets where the yields were reduced and again I think it just related to whether or not those specific areas missed out on some timely rains at key points in the growing season."

 

Koroscil notes hail claims were also down this year.
