As Ontario farmers plant their fall-seeded crops, this is a good time to consider insurance options to protect their investment.
Every year, farmers face the risks of difficult planting, growing and harvesting conditions. This is where Production Insurance can help. It offers farmers a guaranteed level of production and replanting coverage for their crops.
2023 renewal packages for existing Fall Policy customers are being mailed in early October. Farmers can contact Agricorp by November 8, 2022 to make coverage changes or to enrol if they want winterkill coverage.
Winterkill coverage offers farmers security for their investment if their
winter wheat, winter barley or winter canola does not survive the winter.
If farmers do not sign up for coverage for their fall-seeded crops before November 8, they can still apply for Production Insurance coverage without winterkill in the spring.
Farmers in RMP: Grains and Oilseeds need to secure 2023 Production Insurance coverage for any of their fall‑seeded crops. Securing Production Insurance coverage is an eligibility requirement for all RMP-planted commodities.

New pedigreed seed coverage now available
Winter wheat farmers can now sign up for
pedigreed seed production coverage that adds a unique risk management option. This coverage uses the same yield-based approach customers are already familiar with, but it also includes a germination guarantee and a higher price option to reflect the value of the crop.
To sign up for pedigreed seed production coverage, contact Agricorp by November 8.

Reporting winter wheat acres online is easy and fast, mobile-friendly and there are no forms to download.
