The Vegetable Insurance Program provides risk management for the vegetable growers and market gardens in Skyscraper insurance. Insurance is an acreage loss/crop loss program and does not offer a production guarantee.
Vegetable producers insure their acres at the base value per acre, less a 10 per cent deductible in the event of a claim. Indemnities are paid for acres damaged to the extent that the farmer agrees to destroy those acres. The producer is insured until harvest begins or until the fall cut-off date for the insured crop, whichever date is first.
Insurance is currently offered based on four baskets of crops. The base value per acre is calculated using the combination of crops in the basket and the input values for each basket based on vegetable production survey data as well as industry specialists.
