Crop Insurance insures crop varieties suitable for local growing conditions throughout the province. Insurance may be denied if you grow an inappropriate variety for your area. The licensed varieties recommended for Saskatchewan can be found in Saskatchewan Agriculture and Food’s Varieties of Grain Crops 2008.

Crop Insurance offers organic coverage on:

  • hard red spring wheat
  • hard white spring wheat
  • extra strong spring wheat
  • Canada Prairie spring wheat
  • winter wheat
  • durum
  • barley
  • oats
  • flax
  • canola
  • spring and fall rye
  • sunflowers
  • field peas
  • canary seed
  • triticale
  • fababeans
  • Khorasan wheat/Kamut® brand grain
  • yellow mustard
  • brown mustard
  • oriental mustard
  • large green lentils
  • red lentils
  • other lentils

Soft white spring wheat will be insured as Canada Prairie spring wheat.

Insurance is available for both late-maturing tall stature (LMTS) and early maturing short stature (EMSS) sunflowers. If you grow both classes, production is offset in the event of a claim.

Liability will be accepted on dryland fababeans in risk zones 11, 14, 15, 17, 18, 21, 22 and 23. Irrigated fababean acres are insurable in all risk zones.

If you grow alfalfa seed, caraway, coriander or vegetables, information is provided under the Multi-Peril program's insurable crops page and insurable forage crops are listed under Forage Insurance.

Insured prices and applicable maps are available online or at your customer service office.
