Changes announced in crop insurance by Manitoba cabinet
Agriculture Minister Jim Downey announced amendments to crop insurance with Manitoba Crop Insurance Corporation raising severage of grain corn for the 1880 year by about 10 percent and lowering premium rates by an average five percent. The changes include higher cover for rapeseed and sunflowers with minor premium shifts, large premium cuts for silage corn in Corn Area B, flax premium increases in risk area 16, and new premium reductions for insured farmers with 10 years without losses. A revised unseeded acreage program extends application deadlines to January 31 and raises coverage options to $15 and $25 per acre in most zones.
