Wheat class changes to have minimal effect in insurance coverage By Mu s t a f a Er i c

he recent changes that have been introduced by Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) to wheat classes have led to some modifications in the way affected varieties of crops will be insured beginning in 2018. In the first step of the wheat class modernization, as of August 2016, CGC moved five smalleracre Canada Western Red Spring Wheat (CWRS) varieties into the new Canada Northern Hard Red (CNHR) class. Twelve varieties from the Canada Western Red Winter (CWRW) and 10 Canada Prairie Spring Red (CPSR) varieties were moved into the new Canada Western Special Purpose (CWSP) class. The largest variety of CPSR moving to its new category is AC Foremost, accounting for 53 per cent of CPSR acres insured in Alberta. Notable varieties of Canadian Western Red Spring (CWRS) migrating to their new class include Harvest (12 per cent of insured acres) and Lillian (six per cent). In response to new classification of these wheat varieties, AFSC has taken steps to ensure changes to coverage will be minimized. “The goal of the insurance changes required to adjust to the CGC wheat class modernization is to minimize the impact to AFSC clients and continue to offer accurate insurance for wheat,” said Jesse Cole, research analyst at the Research and Product Development Department at AFSC. With this goal in mind, it has been decided that a producer's yield history for some affected classes like Canada Prairie Spring (CPS) and Hard Red Spring (HRS) will not be changed. “Clients with yield history for these wheat classes will not experience any change to their yield coverage for CPS and HRS,” said Cole. “Individual yield coverage for new classes will be created using historical records for varieties migrating from CPS and HRS to the new Canada Northern Hard Red (CNHR) and Canada Western Special Purpose (CWSP) classes,” he added.

AFSC has taken steps to ensure that clients will be minimally affected from the coverage of the wheat crops they grow

Yield records will be used as far back as 2001 to create coverage that reflects the history with varieties now belonging to the new classes. Features of annual crop insurance like hail endorsement, spring price endorsement, variable price benefit, reseeding benefit and unharvested benefit will all be available when insuring new categories of wheat. Clients must remember to elect the new wheat classes on their Annual Crop Insurance forms no later than April 30 to be eligible for coverage in 2018.

End-use options “Insurance offered for annual crops have ‘end uses’ attached to the policy, depending on the eventual use of the product,” added Cole. For example, commercial is the most common use, including human consumption, livestock feed, etc. Other uses include pedigreed for certified seed production and organic for crops grown organically. “End uses have slightly different insurance characteristics depending on the crop,” Cole went on. “The new wheat classes will have an end use for commercial, pedigreed, organic and silage/greenfeed. They will not have one for high protein.”

The new classification will not affect seeding dates, which will remain the same as other wheat types. The new types will be eligible for clients to elect in all risk areas for dryland and irrigated production. More changes will be coming to wheat classes as CGC has announced that in August 2018, 25 CWRS and four CPSR varieties will be moved to the new CNHR class. Sixty per cent of insured CPSR and 20 per cent of insured CWRS wheat will migrate into the new CNHR class based on 2016 insured wheat data. Insurance adjustments regarding those new classes will be announced once they have been finalized. Producers who wish to know more details about the new wheat classes and their insurance options should contact AFSC branch offices or call AFSC’s Client Contact Centre 1-877-899-2372 or email info@afsc.ca.

Simplified options clear confusion in perennial crop insurance products By Mu s t a f a Er i c

erennial crop producers will have simplified coverage options when they insure their crops with Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC) in 2018. Under the program changes, both coverage and price options are being reduced in number, removing the complexity and making the selection of options less confusing. “The options that have been removed from the program were the least utilized choices,” said Ken Handford, product development analyst at AFSC. “The vast majority of our clients have been selecting the options that have been kept in the program.” Producers conveyed the high number of available coverage and price options, in addition to the possible choice of up to three weather stations, created the complexity around the perennial insurance products. With the number of choices reduced, clients should find it easier to renew their policies for perennial crops in 2018. “AFSC understands the need to explain these changes to our clients and we have reached out to perennial insurance holders to provide them with information to help them make their choices on the revised options,” said Nancy Smith, insurance product co-ordinator at AFSC.

The vast majority of our clients have been selecting the options that have been kept in the program. What is new?

In Hay Insurance, Moisture Deficiency Insurance and Satellite Yield Insurance programs, the list of crops covered for insurance remains the same, but producers will have two spring price options to select from instead of four. In Moisture Deficiency Insurance (MDI) program, all eight Full Season coverage options, including four with Spring Soil Moisture (SSM) have been removed. Of the eight Split Season coverage options in 2017 program, four are left in 2018 program, which do not include SSM. However, the way payments are calculated has not changed; therefore, a client will be able to receive the greater amount of the Split Season or Full Season options as before. As for Moisture Deficiency Endorsement, the number of coverage options in this program has also been reduced from eight to four. Staff at AFSC branch offices are ready to discuss these and other details of the changes with clients renewing their perennial insurance policies in 2018.

SPE program modification to benefit producers By Mu s t a f a Er i c

pring Price Endorsement (SPE), an option under the Annual Crop Insurance program, protects insured producers against price declines from spring to fall. This crop insurance option is only available to producers in Alberta through Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC). Based on responses from producers, AFSC has made some modifications to the program effective for the 2018 crop year. Under the new version of SPE, a 10 per cent deductible is being introduced which will reduce the premium rate charged to producers by 20-30 per cent. The payment trigger remains the same; the fall market price needs to drop by 10 per cent or more from the spring insurance price. Once a payment is triggered, benefits will be issued on the price decline that exceeds 10 per cent to a maximum decline of 50 per cent. “As a result of the feedback from producers, changes were made to how Spring Price Endorsement benefits are calculated,” said Daniel Graham, Manager of Business Risk Management Products.

“The primary benefit to the producer is the significant reduction in premiums, between 20 and 30 per cent depending on the crop. Producers can review the changes to SPE with branch offices this spring while making election decisions, prior to April 30 deadline.”

Examples of how SPE benefits a producer are given below: SPE Payment calculation: Assumption: * C lient’s normal yield is 40 bushel per acre * S pring insurance price is $10 * S eventy per cent coverage level was chosen under Crop Insurance; o p rovides the client 28 bushels per acre coverage * C alculated fall market price is $8 o D ecline from spring insurance price to the fall market price is 20 per cent Example 1: * Th e client’s actual yield is 34 bushels per acre so there is no production shortfall;

photo: thinkstock

yield Alberta

2018

* Th e Spring Price Endorsement (SPE) is calculated on production grown up to coverage level (28 bushels per acre) multiplied by 90 per cent of the spring insurance price ($10 x 90%), less the fall market price ($8); o 28 x [($10 x 90%) - $8] = $28 per acre Example 2: * H ere the client’s actual yield is 20 bushels per acre, so there is an eight-bushel-per-acre shortfall. The production insurance payment is based on yield coverage level (28 bushels per acre) less actual yield (20 bushels per acre) multiplied by the spring insurance price ($10) o ( 28 – 20) x $10 = $80 per acre * Th e Spring Price Endorsement (SPE) is calculated on production grown (20 bushels per acre) multiplied by 90 per cent of the spring insurance price ($10 x 90%), less the fall market price ($8); o 2 0 x [($10 x 90%) - $8] = $20 per acre. For more information on the changes to SPE, producers should contact AFSC branch offices in person or by phone, by email (info@afsc.ca) or by calling AFSC’s Client Contact Centre (1-877-899-2372).

AFSC supports Foodgrains Bank in effort to alleviate global hunger By Mu s t a f a Er i c

Combines wait to roll into action during Canadian Foodgrains Bank’s harvest event at Taber on August 15, 2017.

griculture is the most “down to earth” economic activity and agricultural producers are “down to earth,” community-minded people, caring for others, even when they are out of sight, but not out of mind. It is that caring attitude that inspired Mennonite Central Committee in 1976 to start a pilot project to allow Canadian grain farmers to share part of their crops with the needy communities around the world. The initiative quickly gained traction and within a few years, the sponsorship of the program expanded to include 15 churches and church-based agencies and Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFB) was officially born.

Thanks to the appeal of the program, with the participation of local farmers throughout Canada, in 2016-17 reporting period, CFB helped some 900,000 people in 35 countries supporting their nutrition needs with food assistance valued at $41 million. This includes the matching grants contributed by the federal government to the CFB operations. Alberta contributes its share of the assistance, and so does AFSC. Farmers in Alberta contributed a total of $2,364,820 to the CFB program in the 2016-17 Continued on page 12

Continued from page 10 period and AFSC provided free hail coverage for the CFB programs. AFSC’s free hail insurance coverage support to CFB projects in Alberta has been ongoing for several years. According to the figures from the last three years, the amount of AFSC’s hail insurance coverage to CFB projects in Alberta has steadily increased despite fluctuations in the acreage. In 2015, the hail coverage insurance premiums offered to the projects totalled $19,556 for 3,356 acres. That figure rose in 2016 to $24,099 for 3,866 acres and in 2017 to $25,695 for 3,526 acres. “We really appreciate the partnership with AFSC,” said Andre Visscher, who represents the Canadian Foodgrains Bank in southern Alberta. “To see a crop destroyed by hail is devastating.” Due to a drier and warmer summer this year, most of the Foodgrains Bank projects completed their harvests earlier than usual and many staff members from AFSC’s branch offices were on hand to help with the process in a number of communities, including Taber, Vauxhall, Picture Butte and Coaldale. “It was a great opportunity to walk around and visit with different people.

is always great and once the harvest starts, many of our AFSC clients are working in the field, which is heartwarming to see,” said Scott Olsen of the harvest in Taber. He was appreciative of the opportunity to “meet and mingle with” the community during the lunch just before that start of the harvest. “Growing projects harvests are real community events, everyone working together to help families in the developing world,” said Visscher. “Every year, we see more farmers and businesses participating in the harvest.” “What stood out to me the most was the audience’s attention when each combine and/or truck showed up at the fields to report for duty; and the community pride and spirit that was present,” said Leah Richard, client service representative at AFSC, reflecting on her participation in harvest events in Taber and Vauxhall. “They were both fabulous events and memorable to experience.” Mallory Jetter, another client service representative at AFSC, said she was impressed with the Coaldale community’s dedication to support CFB’s cause of helping end hunger around the world. “It was a comforting feeling, knowing that what was fundraised was actually going to where it was supposed to with helping those people,” she said. Canadian Foodgrains Bank says it has recently signed a new five-year, $125 million matching contribution agreement with the federal government, reaffirming its determination to continue its programs aimed at improving nutrition and livelihoods in the developing world. Management at AFSC is happy to be supporting the cause of trying to end hunger around the world. “AFSC appreciates the opportunities to contribute to the Foodgrains Bank projects and we look forward to supporting them in the future where we can,” said Daniel Graham, Manager of Business Risk Management Products.

2017 Crop Insurance by numbers By AFSC Staff

eather conditions continued to be off seasonal normal averages in 2017, resulting in early harvest completion in southern regions due to a hot and dry summer while producers in the Peace region continued to wait for dry spells until late fall to be able to take their crop off the land. The final crop report for the province issued by Agriculture and Forestry Alberta noted that as of the end of October, 98 per cent of the crops had been harvested.

Impact of unseeded acres in 2017 The acreage insured in 2017 fell from 2016 levels, this is largely due to the high amount of unseeded acres: Figure 1: Insurance Coverage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Acres 2016

As the fallout from the unharvested acres from the 2016 crop year, producers in some areas couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seed their land for the 2017 crop year due to continuous excessively wet soil conditions, raising the number of producers who suffered losses from 150 in 2016 to 3,071 in 2017. Some 600,000 acres were reported as unseeded in 2017 as compared to the average of 76,000 acres per year for the previous five years. The indemnities paid due to unseeded acres rose to $24.8 million in 2017 from $432,816 a year ago. Conversely, the hail damage in 2017 turned out to be considerably less as compared to 2016. The number of claims for hail endorsement fell from 4,464 in 2016 to 2,974 in 2017 with indemnities paid declining from $306.6 million in the previous year to $160.6 million in 2017. Similarly, straight hail claim numbers dropped from 1,558 in 2016 to 681 in 2017 with indemnities coming down to $15.06 million in 2107 from $51.3 million in 2016.
