*A small portion of this premium rate has a higher premium cost. You pay 67% of the high-cost amount, and the federal and provincial governments pay the rest. The extra cost factors in high-risk commodities or risk-splitting, like choosing single-peril coverage or insuring separate orchards, hybrids, or harvest periods.
The customer portion of the seed cost coverage premium is $5.32/acre for green and wax beans.

Claim price
There isn't a claim price for green and wax beans. The price is included in the value of the crop because the crop is insured in dollars.
For green and wax beans, the inflation/deflation price factor takes into account the current year’s negotiated price from the OPVG.
