Damage estimate for Rolla Road hail uncertain as assessments begin
BC Crop Insurance official Bill Greenhalgh says adjusters will start next week focusing on insured spot losses, with only 15 to 20 percent of producers carrying such coverage. Overall damage depends on crop maturity, with wheat and barley likely hardest hit and canola varying by variety. The hailstorm spanned from Pouce Coupe to Rolla, mainly a three mile strip along Rolla Road, affecting about 20 farmers.
