Agriculture Roundup for Wednesday, Sept. 25

Sep 25, 2019 | 10:00 AM

Hail adjusters continued to be busy during this month.

Minor to heavy hail damage occurred in the first two weeks of September.

Canadian Crop Hail Association companies are investigating more than 300 claims in Saskatchewan alone.

CCHA President Rick Omelchenko said with harvest in full swing farmers need to be sure they’re leaving an adequate sample for adjusters.

“I really recommend calling your CCHA company that you are insured with and really find out what they actually want,” Omelchenko said.

He said companies are maximizing all available adjusters so claims can be serviced as quickly as possible.
