Today, Federal Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Heath MacDonald and Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit announced continued funding for the 2026 Crop Insurance Program, administered by the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC).
In 2025, over 85% of seeded acres were insured through the Crop Insurance Program. Despite variable growing conditions across the province, many producers experienced improved production compared to recent years, supported by strong, on-farm management decisions. These results have helped renew strength in the Crop Insurance Program, ensuring it remains reliable in supporting farmers and ranchers year after year.
This year marks 65 years of SCIC supporting Saskatchewan farmers and ranchers with relevant and dependable business risk management programs. SCIC continues to innovate the design and delivery of their programs. Leveraging technologies allows SCIC to enhance program accuracy and responsiveness for Saskatchewan producers. Earlier this year, the Corporation introduced Satellite Forage Insurance as a localized, responsive and accurate approach to managing forage risk. SCIC works closely with producers and industry to ensure programs remain relevant and responsive. Through ongoing collaboration, SCIC remains committed to developing programs to meet the evolving needs of Saskatchewan agriculture while advancing customer service provided to producers.
