Livestock producers asked to comment on forage insurance

The Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association (SSGA) wants to hear what livestock producers think of the current suite of forage insurance programs.

SSGA will be providing recommendations to the Forage Insurance Working Group and the survey will be used to help provide direction for future policy and programming decisions.

Some of the survey questions deal with the level of enrolment in current forage insurance products like forage rainfall, corn heat, forage establishment or tame hay; how producers manage drought; how often over the past 10 years they have experienced drought; and where their operation is located.

The survey also asks for the reasons why producers have not used the program.

Video: Turning Data into Better Decisions: BioCV's Intelligent Monitoring System for Modern Pork Producers

In this exclusive interview, Jens Kjaer, CEO of BioCV Inc., discusses the North American launch of the BioCV Intelligent Sow Monitoring System and how advanced sensor technology and machine learning are changing the way producers manage sow herds. Using smart ear tags that continuously monitor temperature, behavior, and movement, the system provides real-time alerts for heat detection, farrowing, fever, lameness, and other critical health events—often before they become visible to barn staff.

Kjaer explains how the technology helps producers improve breeding efficiency, reduce non-productive days, identify health challenges earlier, and better support sows during farrowing. He also shares how BioCV's predictive analytics can help operations optimize labor, improve piglet survival, reduce sow losses, and enhance overall productivity in today's increasingly data-driven swine industry.

Learn how this innovative technology is giving producers actionable insights on every sow, every day, helping teams move from reactive management to proactive decision-making while improving both animal welfare and profitability. www.biocv.info/lisa-sow
