The Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC) says it is seeing a significant increase in hail-related crop damage claims following severe weather in July. AFSC said it was handling 2,656 outstanding hail claims as of July 28, driven by storms that brought heavy rain and strong winds across parts of the province. The organization says it recognizes the uncertainty producers face while waiting for inspections and assures clients that adjusters are working as quickly as possible. Adjusters say farmers and ranchers can help speed up processing by inspecting their fields immediately after a storm. AFSC is also recommending producers sign up for notifications that provide alerts about approaching storm activity. More information about filing a damage claim is available on the AFSC website.
