Ontario's winter wheat crop plays an important role in the province's agriculture sector, with over a million acres planted each year.
Winter wheat faces a unique risk: surviving the winter.
Production Insurance for winter wheat gives farmers peace of mind and options to protect their yield against losses. Winterkill coverage is included, so if a crop doesn't survive the winter, a replant claim in the spring can help to offset losses. Replant claims reflect the average costs of seed, tillage, and planting.
In addition to the winterkill coverage, winter wheat is covered from planting right through to harvest. Coverage protects against production losses and yield reductions caused by insured perils, such as too much rain or not enough.
