Show all funding details
- In the event of an early loss indemnity, insurance continues if the acreage is subsequently planted to the same vegetable crop, but is reduced by the amount of the indemnity paid for early loss.
- Alternatively, coverage of the original crop ceases if the affected acreage is planted to a different crop, and a new premium is due, with the applicable coverage available on the subsequent crop.
- Once the early loss stage has passed, and in the event of a claim, a deductible of 10 per cent of the total insured acreage planted to the affected eligible vegetable crop will be applied.
- Coverage ceases when the crop is harvested or when normal harvesting should have been completed.
There is no discount or surcharge applied to premiums for this program.
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.
