Eligibility

 

Eligible Producers

You're eligible for Greenfeed Insurance if you grow crops for livestock feed.

Eligible Crops

Greenfeed Insurance covers specific annual crops grown for the purpose of being cut, baled, or silaged for livestock feed. Eligible crops include oats, barley, mixed grain, wheat, rye, triticale, millet, sorghum and sudan grass, grown alone or in a combination.

Note: You must indicate eligible crops as 'Greenfeed' on your Seeded Acreage Report (SAR).

Costs & Coverage

Premiums for the Greenfeed Insurance program are cost-shared: {producer_share}% by the producer, {federal_share}% by the Government of Canada and {provincial_share}% by the Province of Manitoba, as part of the Federal-Provincial Growing Forward Framework agreement.

Greenfeed coverage is based on a 10-year provincial average. Starting in 2007, greenfeed probable yields (PY) have been calculated using the Individual Productivity Index (IPI) method.

Probable yields are listed at a standard 15% moisture basis and a grade guarantee of a minimum {greenfeed::grade} is provided. You can choose from three coverage levels: {program_details::coverage1}%, {program_details::coverage2}%, or {program_details::coverage3}% of your probable yield.

Full coverage is available for crops sown by {program_details::full_coverage}. An extended coverage seeding period is available for greenfeed sown between {program_details::extended_coverage_start} and {program_details::extended_coverage_end}, though coverage is reduced by {program_details::extended_coverage_reduction}%.

Claims

Before losses are determined, Greenfeed production is converted to a standard of 15% moisture content. You must notify MASC at least 10 days before any harvested production is fed, sold, or placed in an unmeasurable position, or MASC can deny the claim or calculate the claim in any manner deemed appropriate. In any case, production fed before an adjustment is completed is not adjusted for moisture or relative feed value or visual quality adjustment.

To qualify for a reseed claim, you must reseed your Greenfeed crop on or before {reseed_date}.

Grain Crops cut for Greenfeed

You may harvest insured grain crops as Greenfeed at any time without affecting your crop insurance coverage. For example, if you insure oats with the intention of harvesting grain, but you cut the crop for Greenfeed, your coverage will be unaffected, provided that you contact MASC to appraise the standing crop. If you fail to notify MASC before the crop is cut for Greenfeed and remove it from the field, MASC will assign an appraisal equal to coverage assigned to the field, which removes the field from a claim position.

Procedures

 

Appealing an Appraisal of Loss

If you do not agree with an appraisal of loss completed by MASC, a second appraisal will be completed. If you do not accept this second assessment, or you reconsider the decision after signing a claim, you have 7 days to appeal the assessment to the Appeal Tribunal.
