Manitoba crop insurance adds potatoes and sunflowers
Agriculture Minister J D Watt announced in the Legislature that the Manitoba crop insurance program will include potatoes, field peas and sunflowers this year. He said eligibility criteria for the three crops would be discussed later, noting last year rye rapeseed and mustard were added. Opposition critic Sam Askiw argued for hail insurance on an individual field basis and criticized the plan as incomplete due to high private insurer overhead.
