Agricultural Insurance support documents updated
Several supporting Agricultural Insurance documents were refreshed. The maple fact sheet now points producers to a QR-code/web reference and a regional contact phone number, and it adds cost-share language stating that governments cover all administrative costs and share premium costs with producers. The maple material is now framed specifically for maple syrup producers, and the insured taps report shows a new responsible office name, the NB Agricultural Insurance Commission, with a Fredericton mailing address at 1350 Regent Street replacing the earlier Grand Falls contact location. The deadlines sheet for grain, grain corn and oilseed crops now shows the 2026 cover year, but the listed dates themselves appear unchanged, including the May 1 application deadline, June 5 insured acreage report and initial premium payment date, August 31 final premium payment date, and October 1, October 31, November 15, and December 20 harvest and loss-report dates.
