Insurance
Description:
Pasture Insurance provides additional insurance coverage for forage producers to cover potential losses resulting from shortfalls in summer grazing capacity. Coverage is determined on the eligible livestock pastured, and claims are based on the producer’s forage production. You must be enrolled in the Forage Insurance program to enroll in the Pasture Insurance program, and the same coverage level must be selected for both programs.
Comments on Funding:
The premium is shared 40 per cent by the producer, 36 per cent by the Government of Canada, and 24 per cent by the Province of Manitoba.
