Farmers encouraged to submit AgriStability forms
An important deadline is looming for Saskatchewan farmers as this Sunday marks the initial deadline for producers enrolled in the AgriStability program to submit their 2017 program forms.
AgriStability policy manager Rae Groeneveld told farmnewsNOW they have had a normal response for this time of year.
“For the 2017 year we have 11,800 producers in the province, enrolled to participate and up until this point we’ve got just over 5,000 of those producers that have subnmitted their forms for the program,” he said.
Because Sept. 30 falls on a Sunday, Groeneveld said Saskatchewan Crop Insurance (SCI) will extend the deadline to the next business day Monday. Any forms received after Monday, are subject to a penalty fee and Dec. 31 is the final deadline for submitting program forms with penalty.
