Pasture Days Insurance
No fixed amount
Insurance
Description:
To help reduce the consequences of a pasture shortage, MASC offers the Pasture Days Insurance program to provide financial assistance when grazing shortfalls occur during the summer pasture period.
Comments on Funding:
Premium costs 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. The coverage level for Pasture Days Insurance is set at 90 per cent of normal AU Days, meaning a claim is paid if the actual grazing period is less than 90 per cent of the insured’s calculated AU Days.
Dollar coverage is set at $2.25 per Animal Unit for each AU Day.
