The members of the Canadian Farmers’ Hail Association are investigating 630 crop damages caused by isolated storms that hit farms in Alberta, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan during the week of September 16-22.
Rodney Schoettler from Saskatchewan Municipal Hail Insurance pointed to an unexpected increase in damage claims for September: “So far this season, the number of damage claims has typically not been this high, and the severity of the losses is costly for producers and insurers.”
The storms in Saskatchewan have damaged crops such as Canola, Flax, Mustard, Barley, Corn, and Wheat in regions including Bienfait, Rokeby, Saltcoats, Fleming, Edgeley, Ebenezer, Homefield, Kornau, Richardson, McLean, Instow, Neidpath, Grand Coulee, Archydal, Tuxford, Marquis, Chamberlin, Aylesbury, Kindersley, North Battleford, Davidson, Moose Jaw, Regina, Shaunavon, Swift Current, Yorkton, Melville, Moosomin, Estevan, Alameda, Mortlach, Young, Herbert, Carnduff, Canora.
In Alberta, damage was reported in crops such as Barley, Canola, Corn, Oats, and Wheat in the Hawk Hills, Keg River, Coaldale, Vegreville, and Smoky Lake regions.
In Manitoba, damage occurred in crops like Canola, Wheat, Peas, and Soybeans in areas including Killarney, Baldur, Boissevain, Notre Dame, Virden, Ninga, and Rhodes.
Reports of hail damage are being gathered from Palliser Insurance in Manitoba, the Agriculture Financial Services Corporation in Alberta, Saskatchewan Municipal Hail Insurance, Cooperative Hail Insurance Company, and Rain and Hail Insurance.
