Seed cost benefit
This benefit is available when an insured peril results in a reseeding benefit, a by-passed acreage benefit, or a zero production claim. This benefit covers the cost of the seed used, up to a maximum value set out in the Ontario Processing Vegetable Growers’ contract.
The processor pays the premium for the seed cost benefit and any seed cost benefits are paid directly to the processor.
If there is a reseeding claim, the seed cost portion of the claim is paid to the processor. If there is a bypass claim, and the final yield is equal to or greater than your guaranteed production, no seed cost benefit is payable. If there is a production claim, the seed cost benefit is paid only when there is zero production and no harvest.
