How Production Insurance responds when planting is delayed

Wet weather in parts of Ontario is creating difficult planting conditions for many farmers. Agricorp is working directly with farmers who are concerned about planting delays and will continue to closely monitor the situation.
 
Production Insurance was designed for situations like these. The program includes an unseeded acreage benefit (USAB) when wet weather prevents planting. USAB compensates customers when they are not able to plant their intended crop or an alternative crop by the planting deadline. The planting deadline is the last day that a crop can be planted and still qualify for Production Insurance.

Gowan Canada is partnering with Geco Strategic Weed Management to help Canadian growers take a strategic approach to weed control through data-driven prediction and planning.

Geco’s technology uses data and AI to map where weeds have been over the past five years and predict where patches are likely to emerge next season. These insights allow farms and retailers to plan ahead and target actions in the most challenging areas.

“Our technology enables the question: if you could know where your most problematic patches are and where they are spreading to, what could you do differently? That’s what our technology makes possible,” said Greg Stewart, CEO of Geco. “Many of our farms are already using our prescriptions along with Gowan products, so this collaboration is a natural next step.”
