About the funding
- Producers can choose from three coverage levels: 50, 70, or 80 per cent of their probable yield, or Crop Coverage Plus (CCP) that provides up to 90 per cent coverage (excluding silage).
- Grain corn probable yields are calculated using the producer’s individual 10-year historical yields (a 10-year provincial average is used for new producers).
- Silage corn uses the individual productivity indexing (IPI) method, which calculates probable yields using a producer’s own 10-year individual yield history compared to the area yields of similar soil types and risk areas in order to stabilize year-to-year variability.
AgriInsurance premiums for corn production are shared 40 per cent by the producer, 36 per cent by the Government of Canada, and 24 per cent by the Province of Manitoba.

AgriInsurance claims for corn are based on the following stages of adjustment:
Reseeding
25 per cent of dollar coverage
Losses up to and including June 20
50 per cent of dollar coverage
Losses after June 20, but prior to harvest
Full dollar coverage
Post-harvest claims

If your harvested production (adjusted for quality losses) falls below your coverage, you will be paid an indemnity equal to the production difference multiplied by MASC’s dollar value for the crop.
