Resolution

WHEREAS the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation forage and pasture rainfall insurance coverage is calculated using third-party weather stations;  

WHEREAS the network is designed so that all producers are within a 30km range of a weather station; 

WHEREAS the 30 km range is still a barrier for many producers due to the variability in weather patterns that occurs during critical times in the growing season; 

BE IT RESOLVED that APAS engage the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation to investigate giving producers the option to have rainfall insurance coverage calculated using on-farm, third-party verified weather stations.
