The Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC) is working diligently to ensure producers are receiving accurate information and timely customer service as they start their 2017 year. I would like to take this opportunity to address some of the frequently asked questions being asked by producers and highlight key information which may be valuable to your members during the upcoming months.

As you may already be aware, nearly 1.3 million acres remain of the 2016 crop to be harvested. Producers are anxious to finish harvest this spring and finalize their claims with SCIC. We understand the need to act quickly, assessing claims and putting money in producers hands before spring seeding begins. I want to ensure everyone involved with your organization we have proactive plans in place to assist customers. Our adjusting staff will be making appointments with customers, prior to them completing harvest, in an effort to finalize extensions in a timely manner.As you may already be aware, nearly 1.3 million acres remain of the 2016 crop to be harvested.
