Agricorp: Renewal Season Good Time To Assess Risk Management Coverage

Agricorp is encouraging farmers to make sure their risk management coverage is a good match for what their farms look like today.

The agency points out coverage details are based on last year’s business.

According to Agricorp, making sure the information is accurate and reflects how your farm operates today ensures producers only pay for the coverage they need and get the right compensation in the event of a claim.

Some of the questions producers should ask themselves about their coverage include …

What risks does their farm face this year?

Will their current coverage protect them if they experience a severe, unexpected loss?

Do their chosen coverage levels still provide the protection that’s best for them?

Cleaning Sheep Barns & Setting Up Chutes

Video: Cleaning Sheep Barns & Setting Up Chutes

Indoor sheep farming in winter at pre-lambing time requires that, at Ewetopia Farms, we need to clean out the barns and manure in order to keep the sheep pens clean, dry and fresh for the pregnant ewes to stay healthy while indoors in confinement. In today’s vlog, we put fresh bedding into all of the barns and we remove manure from the first groups of ewes due to lamb so that they are all ready for lambs being born in the next few days. Also, in preparation for lambing, we moved one of the sorting chutes to the Coveralls with the replacement ewe lambs. This allows us to do sorting and vaccines more easily with them while the barnyard is snow covered and hard to move sheep safely around in. Additionally, it frees up space for the second groups of pregnant ewes where the chute was initially.
