Wet fall weather hampers harvest and slows crop hail adjustments

Heavy rain and snow from late season storms is slowing down crop hail damage adjustments.
 
The president of the Canadian Crop Hail Association, Rick Omelchenko, is asking farmers to be patient and leave adequate check-strips for adjusters.
 
He says an adequate check strip for crop damage is at least 20 by 30 feet in the four corners and in the middle of the field.
 
But he suggests farmers check with their hail insurance company.
 
He says fields have had heavy rain and snow this fall, delaying harvest and adjusters.
 
Omelchenko says September claims are about two-thirds complete.

In this CEOs of the Industry – International Edition, we sit down with Michael Agerley, Partner at IQinAbox, to explore how data is reshaping the future of pig production.

After more than 20 years as a veterinarian, Michael shares his unique perspective on the shift from hands-on animal care to data-driven decision making across the pork value chain.

We dive into:

• How better data is improving real on-farm decisions

• The biggest opportunities still untapped in pig production

• How Europe is leading (and where it’s still lagging) in tech adoption

• The role of AI and smart systems in the next 5–10 years

• Why trust, leadership, and practical application matter more than ever

This conversation bridges veterinary insight, technology, and real-world farming, offering a clear look at where the industry is headed—and what it will take to get there.
