2023 proved to be a record-breaking year for payouts under Saskatchewan's Forage Rainfall Insurance program

The Federal-Provincial program paid out over $60.4 million for this year with the majority of those payments going to producers in the southwest and west central regions.

The Federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Lawrence MacAulay says this record high level of payments to producers is a testament to the need for, and value of, the AgriInsurance Program.

Agriculture Minister David Marit says this is additional cash flow to participating Crop Insurance customers, in reaction to the dry conditions.
