Starting in 2023, an Individual Premium is calculated for each crop a producer insures through the Crop Insurance Program.

Crop Insurance customers will see an Individual Premium for each crop based on personal claim history compared to the claim history of other producers of the same crop, within the same area (risk zone).

Learn more....

Individual Premium is individually adjusted for each crop based on your risk directly compared to the loss history of the risk zone. Your risk is measured by comparing your total claims (since 1998) to your total premiums over the same period, for each specific crop.

This individual risk compared to loss history of the risk zone determines an Individual Premium adjustment up or down from the risk zone base premium.

To learn more about your specific Individual Premium, please contact your local SCIC office or request a call back.

Saskatchewan is divided into 23 grain risk zones and 17 forage risk zones. The areas in each risk zone have similar crop production risks, which are used to determine the premiums a producer pays and the coverage they receive on their crops. Risk zones are determined by grouping areas with similar soils, climate and growing conditions.

The risk zones for the respective crop (e.g., forage risk zones, soybean risk zones, etc.) are used for determining the Individual Premium on that crop.

SCIC has always used risk zones as a benchmark within the Crop Insurance Program. Comparing each farm to other farms in the area provides a more wholistic perspective of the seeding conditions, growing season and production. Claims and similar loss experience within the risk zone help offset large fluctuations in premium rates for each farm.

When the entire risk zone has a bad year (e.g., 2021 drought, frost, early snow fall), the Individual Premium calculation helps minimize the impact on premium. Since a producer's individual claim history is compared to the area risk zone history, widespread claims among the area will lessen the likelihood of the producer seeing a premium increase.

As there is a one-year lag when calculating Crop Insurance premium rates, the 2021 production is now used for 2023 premiums. While there was a large number of claims in 2021, the effects were widespread, and this is how Individual Premium’s comparison to the area risk zone helps offset the impact of those claims.

For producers participating in Crop Insurance, the Seeded Acreage Report is necessary to calculate your level of insurance and process your claims. You must submit a Seeded Acreage Report declaring your seeded acres no later than June 25.

You do not have any Crop Insurance coverage until you report your acres on your Seeded Acreage Report. If you suffer a crop loss and have not reported your acres by June 25, your claim may be denied.

Seeded Acreage Report forms will be mailed to you in May. You can phone, fax, or mail your Seeded Acreage Report to any SCIC customer service office or you can use CropConnect to complete personalized reports online. If you fail to submit or are late, you may be assessed a penalty of $60. If necessary, an adjuster will visit your farm to gather the required additional information at an additional charge.

The Unseeded Acreage (USA) feature is included with multi-peril insurance coverage. All Crop Insurance customers have this protection for land too wet to seed due to excessive spring moisture.

If you are experiencing wet acres this spring, you can file a Unseeded Acreage claim by June 25. Submit the claim through your CropConnect account or by speaking to your SCIC office.

For more information about your Crop Insurance coverage or to file a Unseeded Acreage claim, contact your local SCIC office or call us at 1-888-935-0000.

Crops that fail to adequately establish or suffer significant damage due to insurable causes before June 20 are eligible for an establishment benefit. Click here to learn more.

Fall crops seeded by September 30, and insured for yield-loss by March 31 of the following year, will be covered for spring-related establishment losses that are not winterkill related.

When selecting your Crop Insurance coverage, you have a determined production guarantee and a designated grade for the crop you are insuring.

To determine the amount of compensation for quality loss, SCIC uses a formula that makes up the difference between the value of the harvested production and the value of the designated grade for the insured crop. The difference is known as a quality factor and this factor is applied to the harvested production when calculating the final Crop Insurance payment.

Absolutely! SCIC encourages producers to consider participating in both Crop Insurance and AgriStability Programs as part of a comprehensive risk management plan for their farming operation.

With Crop Insurance, you have coverage for your crops from the start of seeding season until harvest is complete. Through AgriStability, you have even further coverage for other uncontrollable events throughout the year (such as rising input costs, falling commodity prices or unforeseen additional expenses. Since AgriStability accounts for the whole farm, the Program can provide benefit payments even if you also receive a Crop Insurance payment.

Crop Insurance customers who selected the Forage Rainfall Insurance Program (FRIP) have coverage against dry conditions and fire. FRIP customers can manage and graze their grass as needed.

For weather derivative programs, claims do not have to be filed; they are automatically calculated based on weather station data.

Clubroot is an important soil-borne disease that has the potential to impact yields on cruciferous crops (canola, mustard, etc.). Crop rotation is key to minimizing the impact and incidence of this disease. SCIC is working with the Ministry of Agriculture to inform Saskatchewan producers about the importance of rotation to manage clubroot. In some cases, if producers continue growing canola on the same land location and suffer a loss, their coverage may be reduced or denied.

Yield trending recognizes agronomic and production advancements and increasing a producer’s historical yields. Agronomic advancements may include improved farm management practices, technology, equipment and new crop varieties.

There are many risks to the success of your farm operation, but not all risks are the same. Some risks may impact one aspect of your business, while other risks may affect multiple areas of your business. AgriStability operates under a model which combines risks and how they impact the profitability of your entire farm.

Example: an increase in fertilizer costs may reduce a farm's profit, but alone it might not significantly impact the farm's margin to generate an AgriStability benefit. However, if the increase in fertilizer prices is combined with a drop in commodity prices, the overall impact could be significant. The combined effect of higher costs and lower revenue from crop sales might be enough to generate a benefit from the Program. 

AgriStability is a margin-based program looking at your farm's income and expenses. To accurately assess the financial success of your farm, we consider changes in inventory value from the start of the fiscal year to the end of the fiscal year. This involves keeping track of your opening inventory (what commodities you had on-hand at the start of the year) and your closing inventory (what commodities you had on-hand at the end of the year). The difference in value between the two, whether it’s related to price or production, can significantly impact the eligibility for AgriStability benefits.

Capturing accrual adjustments contributes to the full picture of your farm’s fiscal year financial success. Evaluating this against your farm’s historical performance is essential to assess potential program benefits. Click here to learn more about how we calculate margins: Margins | SCIC. 

We understand no two farms are the same. While there may be similarities in land bases or crops grown, you make personalized decisions best suited for your farm. Some of these decisions include: 

• Nutrient management 

• Timing of calving, farrowing, lambing and kidding

• Feed programs 

• Crop types and varieties 

The nature of the Program responds to risks of your particular operation, ensuring individualized support rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. 

AgriStability responds when significant factors are outside your control, causing a substantial reduction in your farm’s profitability. In the program years (2018-2023), Saskatchewan producers received over $565 million in AgriStability benefit payments. 

It is a misconception receiving a Crop Insurance payment means you won't receive an AgriStability benefit. Under the AgriStability Program, Crop Insurance indemnities are considered allowable income. Both programs work together to support your farm’s financial stability. Crop Insurance helps protect against risks during the crop’s seeding and growing season. After harvest, the coverage ends. AgriStability provides protection for other risks associated with that crop. This includes storage, input expenses and market price declines.

Depending on the size of the market drop, the price decline might not be enough to drive a payment from AgriStability. However, when combined with production loss, there are often benefits generated for producers (even if they got a Crop Insurance payment). This is because of the valuation of inventory - a component included in the AgriStability Calculation of Benefit.

AgriStability provides coverage for inventory value and can compensate for the declines which significantly impact the farm's profitability. Inventory devaluation can occur when stored grain drops in grade or when market prices decline. You may harvest and store grain at a high grade. However, negative events can impact the crop's marketability and the value of the inventory. This includes heating in the bin, bugs in the grain or wildlife damaging grain bags.

When the bottom line of a livestock operation is threatened, AgriStability responds just as it does for grain and oilseed operations. When combining allowable expenses with reduced revenue, it can significantly impact overall profitability. Historically, the AgriStability Program responds well, providing significant benefits to cattle producers.

First, we look at your farm or ranch's revenue. Did your revenue decrease due to factors such as price drops or fewer animals sold at market? Reduced income impacts the farm’s profitability. 

Next, we assess your expenses. Did costs increase to produce marketable livestock? Were feed costs higher? Were there additional veterinary expenses? Did you need to transport animals for feeding? All these are allowable expenses. 

For livestock operations, maintaining a healthy herd can be a significant risk. Saskatchewan cattle operators go to great lengths to raise the best animals possible. AgriStability regularly provides benefits, in circumstances when even the best planning goes array.

Example: a farm operation purchased prepared feed for their livestock. Unknown to the producer, the feed was not as advertised, resulting in about half the cow herd being open. This reduced the calf crop on the farm, driving revenues down. The AgriStability Program considers that decline in revenue and can compensate based on the drop in margin. 

We often hear mixed farms don’t benefit from AgriStability because one side of the business offsets losses from others (e.g. higher cattle prices offset lower crop prices). Even well diversified farms (running multiple lines of business) can benefit from the AgriStability Program.

AgriStability is a whole-farm income program that considers the revenue and expenses across the operation. Even if your farm diversifies to mitigate risks, AgriStability can still help. When mixed farms receive a benefit from AgriStability, it typically indicates part of their business faced significant hardship, affecting the farms' overall margin. 

Example: In 2023, drought led to a decline in grain production and prices. In this same year, cattle markets experienced record high prices. Some farms experienced significant losses, offsetting the gains from the cattle side of the business. When considering the overall profitability of the operation, if the farm suffers, AgriStability can provide a benefit.

The AgriStability Program covers all sizes and types of farm operations. Coverage and benefits are determined using your farm’s historical financial profile. The current year is compared against the historical profile to determine any benefits. The Program provides the same level of support - paying benefits when a farm’s profitability falls by 30 per cent, compared to its historical profitability. Smaller farms can access benefits just like larger farms, but the amount is typically smaller. 

A farm receives an AgriStability benefit when the farm’s margin has fallen more than 30 per cent compared to the reference margin. In the following year, this margin can be included in the reference margin calculation. Depending on whether it becomes one of the three years used in the Olympic average, a year with a reduced margin can impact the calculated amount of margin covered under the Program. 

The Olympic average used to determine the reference margin excludes the highest and lowest years, averaging the remaining three. Typically, one very bad year does not significantly affect your farm operation’s reference margin. However, when multiple low years occur, the reference margin can begin to decrease, leading to reduced coverage under the Program.

We understand there are other significant costs affecting the success and profitability of a farm operation. The AgriStability Program focuses solely on the operational side of the business, considering income and expenses from the production of primary commodities. Fixed costs and capital costs are not included in the AgriStability benefit calculation.

Each farm is unique in its makeup, approach and business decisions. Decisions about future production and marketing should not be influenced by business risk management programs such as AgriStability. Choices like buying or renting land, purchasing or leasing machinery, repairing or replacing equipment are discretionary and based on each farm's individual situation. To ensure fairness and avoid influencing management decisions, these types of costs are not included in the Program. The intent of AgriStability is to ensure fairness for all participating farms. Decisions regarding machinery are highly variable depending on the farm’s approach. Some farms choose to lease a significant portion of their equipment, while others decide to purchase and own equipment for longer periods, relying on maintenance and repairs. Both approaches are valid and based on the farm’s needs and the operator’s decision. However, they can have dramatically different impacts on business costs. Including these expenses in the AgriStability program would not treat all farms fairly.

Participating in AgriStability is low cost, with fees determined by the size of your operation's margin. The fee is $315 for every $100,000 being covered. On average this works out to a cost of $0.72 per acre and $1.14 per head. 

Getting a Program benefit does not change your participation cost. Only your margin is used to calculate your premium. If your margin goes up, the cost to participate goes up. If it goes down, the cost to participate goes down.

Example: A farm with 3,000 acres of grain, forage and pastureland with 50 cow-calf pairs, would pay approximately $2,274 annually to participate. There is also a $55 administrative fee added to the amount each year. Why is $2,274 considered low cost? A farm with 3,000 acres of grain, forage and pastureland, with 50 cow-calf pairs, would have a margin of approximately $700,000. If the producer received a benefit of $200,000 one year, one benefit would cover the fee which is paid by the farm each year for around 90 years.

We are here to help. SCIC has program advisors located across the province, to support producers in clarifying needed information to complete forms. While they won’t fill in the forms for you, they can work with you to ensure you submit the correct information. Additionally, we offer a toll-free line for assistance. Our team is available to answer any questions and provide advice on how to complete your Program forms.

The reported income and expense come directly from your annually submitted tax information. Additional information needed consists of inventory information, accounts receivable (deferrals), accounts payable and if you have pre-purchased inputs for next year’s crop.

Agriculture is constantly changing - mergers, acquisitions, farm sales and new business structures. AgriStability measures a farm’s historical performance, but it is crucial to ensure this measurement reflects the current state of the farm. The size or structure of your farm five years ago may look quite different from today. If a farm increases in size, the reference margin needs to be increased to represent the potential historical performance to what it is now. Similarly, if a farm decreases in size, the history needs to be adjusted to reflect the performance potential of the same size of farm in those previous years. Therefore, structure change is incorporated into the calculation, making it an important part of the Program.

Lending institutions look to AgriStability, to secure loans and lines of credit. Lenders are more confident in providing financing to operations enrolled in the AgriStability Program. The AgriStability margin provides ag lenders with an understanding of the operation's financial situation.

Example: Whether applying for a livestock advance or a pre-harvest advance for crops, AgriStability can be leveraged as security for the cash advance.

The AgriStability enrolment deadline for the existing Program is extended for the 2025 program year to July 31, 2025. Producers enrolled in the Program must pay their program fees by December 31 to be eligible to receive program benefits. There is a penalty for fees paid after the deadline (or 30 days after their enrolment fee/notice), whichever is later.
 

To participate in AgriStability, please contact us and request a new participant package.

This can vary from company to company, but in most cases, it is the difference between the amount the producer committed to deliver and the actual amount they must meet for the commitments of the forward contract.
 

To learn more, click here.

In the event you cannot meet the obligations of the contract, you may decide to purchase inventory to fulfill the contract. The income and expense related to purchasing inventory to meet the shortfall of the contract is allowable, if the operation has the resources/capacity to produce the commodity at the amounts which are contracted.

To learn more, click here.

Yes, however, it is the shortfall between the actual production amount the producer has the ability to deliver on and the volume committed to in the forward contract which AgriStability considers allowable. In situations where producers did not produce enough grain to fulfill their contracts, they can enter the expense incurred to buy out the shortfall of their contracts under code 9836 Commissions and Levies. The shortfall represents only the quantity of the contract they were unable to fill, and not the cost to buy out the entire contract to obtain a better price.

An interim benefit payment is an advance on your final AgriStability benefit payment. You can apply for an interim benefit if you need access to program funds before completing your program year.

Saskatchewan producers can apply for an interim benefit, by March 31, to receive 50 per cent of their estimated final benefit before completing their program year. The interim benefit is calculated based on the estimated margin decline or loss for the year when compared to the reference margin (historical average).

Please call the AgriStability Call Centre to see if you may be eligible to receive an interim benefit.

Absolutely! SCIC encourages producers to consider participating in both Crop Insurance and AgriStability Programs as part of a comprehensive risk management plan for their farming operation.

With Crop Insurance, you have coverage for your crops from the start of seeding season until harvest is complete. Through AgriStability, you have even further coverage for other uncontrollable events throughout the year, such as, rising input costs, falling commodity prices or unforeseen additional expenses. Since AgriStability accounts for the whole farm, the Program can provide benefit payments even if you also receive a Crop Insurance payment.

The deadline to submit AgriStability forms without penalty is June 30.

Submitting program forms is part of the annual process for producers enrolled in AgriStability. The information provided determines whether each producer qualifies for a payment. It also ensures the farm’s reference margin, which payments are based upon, is up to date.

Program forms received after June 30, may be subject to a penalty fee. AgriStability benefits will be reduced by $500 per month; however, if no benefit is calculated, there is no penalty applied. Program forms, with penalty, must be submitted by September 30.

SCIC is pleased to offer a wide variety of insurance options for livestock producers – including Crop Insurance (forage coverage and weather-based forage programs), AgriStability, and the Livestock Price Insurance Program. Plus, the Wildlife Damage Program is also available to all Saskatchewan producers to provide compensation for wildlife damage to your crop in the field, stacked hay or greenfeed in the yard, or predator attacks on your livestock.

Livestock Price Insurance (LPI) is a Western Canadian program involving the federal government, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. SCIC administers LPI for Saskatchewan producers.

For protection against unexpected price drops and uncontrollable factors influencing the market, producers can purchase a LPI policy that guarantees a forward market price for your calves, feeders or fed cattle. Even if you are in a claim position, you can still choose to sell or keep your livestock.

Livestock Price Insurance (LPI) can help you protect your operation against unexpected price declines. Select from a variety of price insurance coverage options, every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, to find the best fit for your livestock operation. For Saskatchewan producers, there are two regional premium tables to choose from with a wide range of coverage indexes.

Calf policies are available to purchase annually from February until mid-June, with coverage based on an average 600-pound steer calf. Feeder policies are available year-round for all weaned calves not intended to be finished, with coverage based on an 850-pound steer. Fed policies are also available year-round for cattle on full feed to be finished.

Livestock Price Insurance can help protect your operation against market volatility and unexpected price declines. Many factors impact price fluctuations. Currently, there are few risk management programs available to Canadian livestock producers. The Livestock Price Insurance program is flexible and market driven, taking into account three areas of risk specific to Canadian cattle producers: price, currency and basis.

Take advantage of added convenience and flexibility through Payment on Account and over-the-phone purchasing options. Enrolment is free.

Please visit any SCIC office or call 1-888-935-0000 to purchase LPI policies and make claims.

Producers who purchased a Livestock Price Insurance policy enter their claim window in the final four weeks of the policy. Settlement values reflect weekly market conditions and are determined using data collected from various auction markets across western Canada. During the first three weeks of the claim window, producers are in a claim position when the settlement index is lower than the insured coverage. The policy holder must manually manage their claim in those first three weeks. If the settlement index for the fourth and final week is lower than the producer’s insured coverage, a claim will automatically calculate using any remaining insured weight on the policy. Settlement indices are published on Mondays.

To sign up to receive the LPI premiums and settlements indices by email, click here.

The Livestock Price Insurance premium tables provide a snapshot into the future. Becoming familiar with the premium tables and how they fluctuate day-to-day will assist when making purchasing decisions. When you purchase coverage to establish a floor price, you can maximize market potential. In the final four weeks of the policy, if the market falls below the coverage you purchased, Livestock Price Insurance will pay the difference. If the market is above the coverage purchased, you can benefit by selling livestock into the higher market.

For Saskatchewan producers, there are two regional premium tables to choose from with a wide range of coverage indexes.

When you purchase livestock price insurance, your settle period (claim window) opens during the last four weeks of your policy. You can determine if you're in a claim position by monitoring weekly settlement prices during this period.

Each Monday, the settlement prices for the previous week are published online. If the settlement price is below the insured price of your policy, you're eligible to submit a claim for a portion or all of your insured weight during claim hours.

If you decide not to make a claim in the first three weeks of your claim window, the system will automatically settle your policy in the fourth and final week using that week's settlement prices. We encourage producers to check their policy and settlement prices before the expiration date.

All Saskatchewan producers are eligible to file a wildlife damage claim for compensation through the Wildlife Damage Compensation and Prevention Program.

Up to 100 per cent compensation is available on damage caused by ducks, geese, blackbirds and sandhill cranes.

It is important to contact your local customer service office prior to harvesting or feeding and grazing any damaged crop so it can be assessed. Compensation is provided on a spot-loss basis and will be based on the yield loss of the crop in the damaged area.

For more information, click here.

The Wildlife Damage Compensation Program provides compensation to producers who experience wildlife damage to alternate feed, stacked hay and forage. All Saskatchewan producers are eligible for wildlife damage compensation. You do not have to be a Crop Insurance customer to be eligible and there is no enrolment required to register a claim.

Report any damage to SCIC as soon as you notice it. Contact your local SCIC office or call: 1-888-935-0000.

The Feral Wild Boar Control Program operates as part of the Wildlife Damage Compensation and Prevention Program. Along with coordinating removal of problem wild boar, SCIC can provide compensation for any crop or livestock damage caused by the pest. You do not have to be an existing SCIC customer to submit a wildlife damage claim.

SCIC provides compensation to all Saskatchewan producers for injury or death to eligible livestock.

Animals eligible for compensation include cattle, sheep, goats, bison, horse, hogs (excluding wild boar), elk and specialty livestock. Compensation is eligible on predation by coyotes, bears, cougars, lynxes, fox, wolves, bobcats, birds of prey, scavenging birds, raccoons, skunks, badgers, minks, weasels or any other wild animal causing injury or death to eligible livestock. Up to 100 per cent compensation is available for death and up to 80 per cent of the animal’s value to cover veterinary costs associated with injuries.

Contact your local SCIC office or call 1-888-935-000 as soon as damage is discovered.
