Pedigreed Seed Insurance
No fixed amount
Insurance
Description:
To help offset higher costs incurred by producing pedigreed seed (Red Spring, Hard White, Durum, Extra Strong, Prairie Spring and Winter wheats, Barley, Soybeans, Oats, Canola, Rapeseed, Flax, and Field Peas), MASC gives pedigreed seed growers the option to insure their eligible crops at higher dollar values. Producers must select ‘Pedigreed Seed Insurance’ by March 31, and declare any pedigreed seed acres on their Seeded Acreage Report (SAR).
Comments on Funding:
Pedigreed seed crops are charged a higher premium per acre than non-pedigreed crops.
The premium cost 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.
