Insurance is available to any producer who meets Saskatchewan Crop Insurance eligibility requirements. Crop Insurance regulations require eligible contract holders to demonstrate legal,
operational and financial independence from all other producers.
All new applicants are required to fill out an “Application Supplementary Form” to confirm legal, operational and financial independence.
- Legal independence is legal access to the land (owned or leased) on which insured crops will be grown.
- You have operational independence if you are responsible for farming decisions and have access to machinery and crop storage.
- Financial independence means you bear the financial risk of any crop loss.
To apply for a contract of insurance, visit your local customer service office or call 1-888-935-0000 to make an appointment. You must apply for a contract of insurance in person. Non-residents of Canada applying for a contract must have verification of approval or compliance from the Saskatchewan Farm Ownership Board.
Saskatchewan Crop Insurance reserves the right to review any contract to ensure compliance with
eligibility requirements. Where concerns are identified, the contract holder will be advised of these requirements in order to maintain their contract in future years.

Organic Certification |
 |
Land must be certified by an approved certification body in the current year to be eligible for organic coverage. Proof of certification must be supplied to Crop Insurance. Transitional acres will be insured as conventional until full organic certification is achieved. With proof of transition status, Crop Insurance will accept organic management practices.
If an insured parcel of land loses or fails to attain certification, the insured price will revert to the conventional price but the yield coverage will remain unchanged.
