Lentils and faba beans added to Manitoba crop insurance
Agriculture Minister Jim Downey announced that lentils and faba beans are now insurable by the Manitoba Crop Insurance Corporation. Premiums will mirror the average rate for field peas due to similar risk and growth profiles, based on yields from the insurer's annual questionnaire. The action follows farmer and contractor requests and aims to broaden crop diversification and insurance coverage.
