SCIC offices will be closed Friday, July 30, and Monday, August 2, to observe a scheduled staff holiday and Saskatchewan Day, respectively.

The Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) is administering the Canada-Saskatchewan Excess Moisture Program (EMP). Together, the federal and provincial governments are providing $30 per eligible acre to Saskatchewan producers who had land too wet to seed as of June 20 or seeded crop lost because of flooding on or before July 31.

With much of the province affected by excessive moisture, the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) is working to help its customers by extending seeding deadlines.

Today, Federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Bob Bjornerud announced producers will be compensated for livestock killed or injured by predators, as part of overall enhancements to the Wildlife Damage Compensation Program.
