AFSC extending recommended seeding dates for clients impacted by wildfires

Jun 06, 2023

Areas in the northern and western parts of the province have had a record number of wildfires this spring, resulting in mandatory evacuations for residents in the areas of the fires. Although the impact to annual crop seeding is unknown at this time, AFSC is extending the recommended seeding dates for clients who are impacted by the mandatory evacuations or have land impacted by the wildfires.

The extended recommended seeding for these clients is as described in the table below:

Recommended seeding dates have been extended clients who are impacted by the mandatory evacuations, or have land impacted by the wildfires. Please call AFSC for details.

Clients who seed within the extended recommended seeding dates who were impacted by the mandatory evacuations, or have land impacted by the wildfires, will be covered for quality (grade) loss.

Clients who seed after the extended recommended seeding dates will not be covered for quality (grade) loss may have uninsured causes assessed unless the cause of loss appears to be general to the area.

No changes are being made to the recommended seeding date for any other clients, nor to the dates for crops with seeding deadlines. The Land Report filing deadline of June 20 remains unchanged.

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
