Saskatchewan crop insurance program adjustments

There are some changes coming for Saskatchewan Crop Insurance customers.

Agriculture Minister David Marit revealed the details for the 2023 program year. He said customers will see an individual premium calculated for each crop they insure. Premiums are individualized based on a producer’s personal claim history compared to the area risk zone.

“This means a producer’s claim on one crop does not impact their premium for a different crop,” Marit said. “Producers will see these individual premiums be more reflective of what they are experiencing on their own farm.”

Marit said the premium discounts and surcharges previously used in the Crop Insurance Program are discontinued.

Understanding Nitrogen Loss Through Denitrification

Video: Understanding Nitrogen Loss Through Denitrification

Denitrification is one of the three main pathways for nitrogen loss, but what is it really, and how much nitrogen do we stand to lose?

In this episode, Lyle Cowell is joined by Dr. Erin Daly from the University of Guelph to break down denitrification and the conditions that drive nitrogen loss in the soil. They explore how nitrogen can be lost as nitrous oxide and nitrogen gas, what conditions drive losses and when they are most likely to occur.

Erin also shares how CanN2ONet, a national research network, is helping us better understand nitrous oxide emissions across Canada. From field towers that measure emissions to research into regionally tailored best management practices, discover how the network is working to help growers improve nitrogen use efficiency and help reduce nitrogen losses across the country.
