Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corp. has extended the deadline to enrol in or make changes for 2022.
In a March 14 news release, agriculture minister David Marit and federal minister Marie-Claude Bibeau said they had added two weeks to the deadline because of supply chain concerns.
“Due to logistical challenges because of the ongoing supply-chain issues posed by the pandemic, there was a delay in the delivery of the 2022 crop insurance packages to producers’ addresses,” the release said. “These challenges occurred after the packages left the SCIC on Feb. 25, 2022.”

Marit said they wanted to make sure producers had additional time to review their risk management plans and make decisions.
The news release noted that the packages had been circulated and distributed as of March 10.
The original March 31 deadline has been pushed to April 14.
