Perennial Crop Insurance 2025
Working in agriculture requires the ability to withstand unpredictable events. To protect producers from designated perils that lead to production loss, Agriculture Financial Services (AFSC) provides a suite of perennial insurance programs.
These programs provide:
- a production guarantee for hay crops based on average historical yields and the coverage option selected; or
- coverage for pasture based on conditions in the area, determined by an indicator of production loss, such as precipitation. This coverage is not directly related to losses to insured fields.
What’s new for 2025
Weather Stations: Three new weather stations – Badger Lake, Grovedale, and Hays – are being added to the network of weather stations across Alberta. One weather station, Milk River Ridge, is being replaced by McIntyre.
