Agricorp Covering 5 Million Acres With Production Insurance

Agricorp reports Ontario farmers have 5 million acres covered by Production Insurance this year - about the same level as in the recent past.

The top three crops being insured are soybeans, corn and winter wheat.

Agricorp says just over 2 million acres of soybeans, about 1 point 5 million acres of corn and almost 800 thousand ares of winter wheat are now insured.

The agency is also encouraging growers to report any damage right away so Agricorp can help with whatever next steps may be required in the process.

Agricorp also points out producers with AgriStability coverage can ask for an interim payment if they find themselves in financial stress.
