News From SCIC

SCIC recognizes the challenges many Saskatchewan producers are facing due to varying growing and weather conditions. Under the Crop Insurance Program, customers are covered against both yield and quality loss on insured crops.

Crop Insurance customers have coverage for insurable causes of loss such as drought, excessive moisture, hail, flooding, frost, wind, wildfire, disease, pest and wildlife damage.

Today, Federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit announced the AgriStability enrolment deadline for the 2022 program year has been extended without penalty to June 30, 2022. This step, agreed to by federal, provincial, and territorial governments, will help producers manage the impact of avian influenza (bird flu), current market disruptions, increased expenses and production challenges facing many farm operations.

The Government of Saskatchewan is taking steps today to proactively enhance and broaden the regulation, monitoring and control of wild boar and feral pigs in the province.
