Producers should contact AFSC at least five days in advance of harvesting to share details about their situation and find out how best to proceed. AFSC will work with clients to complete a field inspection as soon as possible.
This change means that if the appraised yield falls below the established threshold level, AFSC can reduce the appraisal to zero, based on information gathered by the adjuster during the inspection. The appraised yield of the crop will be used in the calculation of any subsequent indemnities.
“We recognize that this year’s conditions have had a significant impact on some producers – and changes to the low yield allowance can help them through times like this."
Darryl Kay, CEO, Agriculture Financial Services Corporation
