Processing and Agreement
- Your HPR must be submitted before MASC will adjust a claim.
- Damaged crops must be inspected prior to being destroyed.
- Once you agree to the appraisal and the claim is signed, the crop on those acres can be destroyed.
- If the claim is on the entire acreage of the crop, payment is based on the appraised production and the claim will be processed once the crop has been destroyed or put to an alternate use.
- If the claim is not for the entire acreage of the crop, the claim will be calculated after harvest when the amount of production is determined, and no claim is payable if the final adjusted production exceeds the coverage guarantee.
Additional information
- If you held an AgriInsurance contract in the previous year, MASC should send a Confirmation of Insurance package early in the crop year by mail or email.
- If you do not make any changes, the previous year’s selections remain in effect.
- The Confirmation of Insurance package lists your previously selected crop, coverage levels, and selected AgriInsurance programs, and the Crop Management History package recaps cropping information for up to the past 5 years.
- MASC divides Manitoba into 15 Risk Areas of similar crop production risks, which are used to determine premiums and crop coverage.
