Early harvest begins in southern Saskatchewan, Alberta 

/in /by

Producers should leave adequate sample strips for adjusters to assess crop damage as harvest begins in the southern regions of Saskatchewan and Alberta, according to the Canadian Crop Hail Association.

CCHA member companies are investigating more than 646 claims of crop damage from storms that occurred July 10-16

Companies contributing to this report are Rain and Hail Insurance Service, Palliser Insurance, Agriculture Financial Services Corporation and Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation,

CCHA President Scott McQueen, of Palliser Insurance, said claim activity remains low throughout the western provinces.

“Harvest is starting to roll in some of the southern regions of Saskatchewan and Alberta,” he said. “We ask producers to leave strips if adjusters haven’t been out to assess their damage. All companies are getting to claims on a timely matter so new storms won’t push adjusters behind.”

High levels of heat and low moisture continue to burden crops in many areas across the prairies, said Tyson Ryhorchuk of Rain and Hail Insurance Service.

Here’s a look at storm damage across the region.

Storms drop golf-ball size hail as part of Western Canada struggles with grasshoppers

/in /by

Storms damaged crops across Western Canada with pea-to-golf ball size hail while part of Saskatchewan is battling a grasshopper infestation along with windy and dry conditions, according to the Canadian Crop Hail Association.

The storms occurred June 26 – July 2.

CCHA member companies are investigating more than 1,500 claims of crop damage during the time period.

Companies contributing to this report are Co-operative Hail Insurance Company, Palliser Insurance, Agriculture Financial Services Corporation and Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation.

CCHA President Scott McQueen, of Palliser Insurance, said hail activity has picked up, especially in Manitoba and Alberta.

“We are still seeing a wide variety of damages in all three provinces,” he said. “Damages also range in severity due to crop maturity. We are seeing the more advanced crops hit the hardest with less established crops absorbing the damage much better. Harvest will likely be much earlier than years past and CCHA member companies are looking to stay on top of claims as best they can.”

Darryl Tiefenbach, of Co-operative Hail Insurance Company, said the southern third of the Saskatchewan grain belt is battling large grasshopper infestations and some areas are also seeing stressed crops due to many windy days and not much precipitation.

“The prairie provinces could all use a few timely rains to help crops and pastures,” he said.

Here’s a look at storm damage across the region.

Conditions vary across Western Canada as storms damage crops

/in /by

Storms damaged crops with pea-to-toonie sized hail, heavy rain and high wind, according to the Canadian Crop Hail Association.

The storms occurred June 1-25.

CCHA member companies are investigating more than 1,000 claims of crop damage during the time period.

Companies contributing to this report are Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation, Co-operative Hail Insurance Company, Agriculture Financial Services Corporation, Palliser Insurance and Municipal Hail Insurance.

CCHA President Scott McQueen, of Palliser Insurance, said crops suffered minor to severe damage.

“We’re seeing a big variety of conditions in all provinces of Western Canada,” McQueen said.  “Some areas are experiencing severe drought while others have normal to excellent moisture.”

Adjusters may need to defer assessment until a later date, in some cases, to accurately assess damage due to the stage of the crops, said Yves Dooper of Agriculture Financial Services Corporation.

Here’s a look at storm damage across the region.

Alberta

Crops damaged: Cereals, corn, canola, peas, flax, and faba beans.

Final report: Hail insurance industry sets record crop coverage

/in /by

The crop hail industry set yet another record with nearly $10 billion in crop hail coverage – a 20 percent increase over last year.

Producers who waited to purchase hail coverage late in 2022 likely had a problem finding it due to the unanticipated demand.

With continued strong crop pricing, combined with increasing input costs, rising fuel costs and record inflation, producers increased record crop hail coverages to ensure adequate coverage was placed on their crops.

Claim activity was at or slightly below the 5-year average. Producer premiums totaled $265 million, which was slightly above the 5-year average. This resulted in an industry loss ratio of 71 percent – down from last year but still a significant impact on participating companies.

Prairie farmers faced mixed conditions at the beginning of the season.

Alberta seeding and conditions were at or near normal despite the south being persistently dry through the winter. Timely rains helped progress crops.

Saskatchewan had an early start in the south and west portions of the province with drought like conditions still a concern along the west corridor. The dry conditions provided some impact on crop production. The east side of the province battled a cool damp spring hampering and delaying early seeding progress. A dry fall season helped to ensure that all crops were harvested. Overall crop reports indicate an average to above average production year for most producers.

After a record dry 2021, Manitoba had a very wet start to the 2022 growing season. Saturated soils delayed seeding by up to four weeks in parts of the province. A warm and moderate summer allowed most crops to catch up to near normal development. Harvest rain caused some delays and extending harvest beyond the average.

Storm frequency was below average in 2022. The number of days producing active weather was below average for most provinces. With the record coverage, the cost per claim quickly built like the clouds that cause the hail. What appears to have been an average season for storms and claims endured record high claim payments.

Manitoba’s average claim was 20 percent higher than the 5-year average. Saskatchewan’s average claim was 45 percent higher and Alberta was 41 percent higher.

2022 received fewer than average storm days throughout the summer, but the cost per claim made up for the decrease in storm days. June was the only month that provided more storm day activity than the average across much of the prairies.  With June more active than normal, the year overall ended up with about 20 percent less active days from the 5-year average.

Hardest hit was Alberta with an industry loss ratio of 98 percent compared to 2021’s 97 percent. Saskatchewan followed with a 68 percent loss ratio, compared to 133 percent in 2021.  Manitoba reported a 43 percent loss ratio compared to 21 percent in 2021.

The Canadian prairie storm season runs June through October. This year July, August, and September saw reduced storm activity. Though claim day activity for the year saw a decrease, the 5-year average for claim frequency, or number of claims to policy, saw an increase of 28 percent – meaning more claims were filed with limited storms.

Alberta crop hail results continue to be clouded with storm activity

Alberta’s storm activity resulted in heavier-than-average loss expense for the industry. The claim-to-policy ratio was 18 percent above the 5-year average.  Average cost per claim saw an increase of more than 41 percent of the 5-year average.  More than $94 million was paid out to Alberta producers in hail claims.

Total sums insured saw 14 percent increase from 2021, with average rates charged reporting a slight increase likely due to industry results.

Saskatchewan records average hail loss year

2022 was a below average loss year for Saskatchewan based on cost of losses to sums insured. However, the loss results show a different story with an average paid loss ratio of 68 percent. The claim to policy ratio was 36 percent higher than average, and average claim paid 45 percent higher than average, resulting in $143 million being paid to producers.

Total sums insured saw a 26 percent increase year-over-year, likely due to the increase crop prices and cost related to inputs.

The industry average rate charged appears to have reached its lowest historic point last year.  A small increase was realized in the 2022 year.

Manitoba records positive results despite the late start to the season.

Seeding was later than normal due a very wet spring. Saturated soils delayed seeding by up to 4 weeks in areas.  A warm moderate summer followed in July, allowing crops to nearly catch up to normal development.  A later harvest with a few rain delays led to an extended harvest.

Manitoba’s hail season saw below average hail activity. Like the other provinces however average cost per claim was higher than the 5-year average. The combination of lighter activity and increased cost per claim provided a higher-than-average loss ratio at 43 percent, resulting in $31 million being paid to producers.

Manitoba’s most expensive storm occurred in the southwest corner on Aug. 23.

Total sums insured saw an increase of over 25 percent from 2021 with average rates mostly remaining flat.

CCHA sets coverage record in 2022

/in /by

The crop hail industry provided a record-setting $10 billion in coverage as producers purchased more insurance in the wake of increasing input costs, inflation and strong crop prices, according to the Canadian Crop Hail Association.

Producers who waited to purchase hail coverage late in 2022 likely had a problem finding it due to the unanticipated 20-percent increase in demand.

“Our member companies worked hard to cover as many producers as possible across the prairie” said Scott McQueen, CCHA president. “We encourage producers to plan for their 2023 insurance needs early and contact a CCHA company soon so we may help with the process.”

Insurance payments to prairie producers will total more than $265 million. Producer premiums totaled more than $375 million for an industry loss ratio of 71 percent.

Alberta was the hardest hit with an industry loss ratio of 98 percent compared to 2021’s 97 percent. Saskatchewan followed with a 68 percent loss ratio, compared to 133 percent in 2021.  Manitoba reported a 43 percent loss ratio compared to 21 percent in 2021.

“We are proud to have helped prairie farmers once again weather the impacts of Mother Nature and have the resources they will need next year to grow the food we rely on,” McQueen said. “We thank our adjusters who responded to unprecedented market demand and worked to ensure farmers received payments quickly after claims.”

CCHA members have completed final hail damage claims.

Storms hit crops with marble size hail in Western Canada

/in /by

Storms produced marble size hail resulting in light to complete crop damage across Western Canada has harvest continues, according to the Canadian Crop Hail Association.

The storms occurred Aug. 22-Sept. 1.

CCHA member companies are investigating more than 1,000 claims of crop damage during the time period.

Companies contributing to this report are Co-operative Hail Insurance Company, Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation, Agriculture Financial Services Corporation, Additional Municipal Hail Insurance and Palliser Insurance.

CCHA President Scott McQueen, of Palliser Insurance, said late season storms have impacted mature crops.

“Crops are now mature and ripe in most areas and harvest is within the 5-year average for this time of the year,” he said. “Ripe standing crops are not able to sustain the hail damage as well as crops hit in the swath and we are seeing this in our claimed acres. Storms have produced marble sized hail and damaged areas have reported light damage to complete loss of crop. Light to medium hail losses have been the trend this growing season as well as high winds and rain accompanying hailstorms.”

He said higher than normal temperatures are helping turn the crop ready for harvest.

“Harvest is underway for most producers,” he said. “As shared previously, we encourage farmers to use adequate samples test strips for adjusters if hailed fields need to be harvested. If you are unsure what to leave, please contact your crop hail insurance provider for help.”

Here’s a look at storm damage across the region.

Adjusters work to stay ahead of harvest as storms slow

/in /by

Insurance adjusters are working seven days a week to stay ahead of harvest in Western Canada as hailstorms become less frequent but still destructive, according to the Canadian Crop Hail Association.

The storms occurred Aug. 15-21.

CCHA member companies are investigating more than 1,300 claims of crop damage during the time period.

Companies contributing to this report are Co-operative Hail Insurance Company, Additional Municipal Hail Insurance, Rain and Hail Insurance Service, Agriculture Financial Services Corporation, AG Direct Hail Insurance, Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation and Palliser Insurance

CCHA President Scott McQueen, of Palliser Insurance, said crops are ready for harvest or close to being ready, which leaves them susceptible to hail.

“As the season rolls on, producer awards continue to increase in size,” he said.  “Small storms can still produce heavy damage because of the condition of the crop. Producers are in the full swing of harvest and many are working day and night. Fields have been opened up and many are swathed. Adjusters are working seven days a week trying to get to as many clients as possible to avoid leaving samples in the field.”

Tyson Ryhorchuk, of Rain and Hail Insurance Service, said adjusters are working hard to attend to claims as quickly as possible in this extremely busy time of year.

“If farmers have claims and need to harvest damaged fields, we ask that they review the harvest strip instructions and adhere to the check strip requirements for their chosen company,” he said.

Here’s a look at storm damage across the region.

Insurance companies remain on schedule in assessing hail damage

/in /by

Insurance companies continue to urge growers to leave adequate samples of damaged crops as they assess hailstorm damage across Western Canada, according to the Canadian Crop Hail Association.

The storms occurred July 25-31.

CCHA member companies are investigating more than 1,200 claims of crop damage during the time period.

Companies contributing to this report are Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation, Additional Municipal Hail Insurance, Co-operative Hail Insurance Company, Agriculture Financial Services Corporation, Palliser Insurance Company.

CCHA President Scott McQueen, of Palliser Insurance, said mid-to-late July brought more intense storms producing heavy damage in Saskatchewan and Alberta. July 31 produced the bulk of the claims for his company with damage raging from light to heavy.

“Companies are still on time when it comes to assessing damage,” he said. “If you are harvesting your crops, please leave adequate samples for your adjuster. If you are not sure what to leave, give your insurance provider a call and they will help you out.”

Darryl Tiefenbach, of Additional Municipal Hail Insurance, also said the west-central border between Saskatchewan and Alberta appears to have been hit the hardest.

“We will expect to see some very severe hailstorm damage to all crop types,” he said. “This storm travelled in a northwest to southeast path with the core of the storm through Kindersley, Eston and Glidden.”

Here’s a look at storm damage across the region.

Growers urged to leave adequate crop samples as harvest approaches

/in /by

Storms damaged crops with hail as large as baseballs across Western Canada and growers are urged to leave adequate samples for adjusters as harvest approaches, according to the Canadian Crop Hail Association.

The storms occurred July 18-24.

CCHA member companies are investigating more than 1,500 claims of crop damage during the time period.

Companies contributing to this report are Co-operative Hail Insurance Company, Rain and Hail Insurance Service, Agriculture Financial Services Corporation, Additional Municipal Hail, Palliser Insurance Company

CCHA President Scott McQueen of Palliser Insurance said storms produced pea to baseball size hail across the region

“Southern Alberta experienced severe hail events with strong winds and baseball sized hail,” he said. “Heavy damage to all crop types was reported in isolated areas. Saskatchewan also saw severe damage but not nearly the impact Alberta had. Manitoba experienced smaller isolated storms with the damage ranging from light to heavy.”

Yves Dooper, of Agriculture Financial Services Corporation, said some growers are attempting to salvage their crop, begin harvest or in a few cases replant the damaged area to another crop and, with the current claim load, adjusters may not inspect all claims before something is done with the fields.

“Producers are encouraged to contact their insurance provider to ensure they leave the appropriate amount of crop for the adjuster to assess,” he said.

Here’s a look at storm damage across the region.
