The Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation reminds producers the sooner they submit their production declaration and file their claim, the sooner SCIC can assess the claim and issue a payment. Producers are reminded the deadline to complete their production declaration and file a claim is November 15. Post-harvest claims are filed when a producer’s actual crop yield and/or quality does not meet their coverage level. To date the Crop Insurance program has paid 887 post-harvest claims providing $43 million in support.  The five-year average (2011-2015) for post- harvest claims is 7,520 paid providing $170 million in payments. Even if a producer is not in a claim position it is important to complete their production declaration. This information helps producers build their individual coverage as it reflects their growing experience over the past ten years and impacts a producer’s overall coverage. Ease of filing from a home computer or a mobile device can be realized online with CropConnect. Through CropConnect producers can file all their production and register a claim. Producers can also complete their form, mailed to them in September, and return it to their local Crop Insurance office by mail, fax, walk-in or phone. If producers are not finished harvest as of November 15, they should request an extension of insurance. Source - http://www.saskcropinsurance.com/
