What is AgriStability?
AgriStability is a business risk management program, designed to provide financial support when producers incur large financial losses. AgriStability allows producers to protect their farm operations from a large margin decline, while stabilizing their farming income. Benefits are based on a 15 per cent or greater decline of the farm’s current production year margin compared to a historical average.

Why did AgriStability administration move to Saskatchewan?
The Government of Saskatchewan has fulfilled its commitment to bring the administration of AgriStability to Saskatchewan, thus continuing the government’s plan to participate fully and immediately in federal programs designed to help farm families.
Transferring the program administration to Saskatchewan will lead to enhanced service for producers and more immediate access to local staff that are knowledgeable of local agriculture.
Why will the program be delivered by the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC)?
AgriStability is ideally suited to be paired with SCIC because of the commonalities between the two programs. SCIC staff have continued to build strong, positive relationships with Saskatchewan producers since 1961. The same quality and knowledge will carry forward to the AgriStability program, creating enhanced communication and customer service.
Where should I call if I have questions?
Producers can call the SCIC AgriStability call centre toll-free at 1-866-270-8450.
