Cover Crop Protection extends deadline
OTTAWA - Due to the significant amount of Canadian
crop land damaged by spring flooding this year and in
2005, Minister of Agriculture and Agri -Food and
Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board Chuck Strahl
announced recently, that farmers will have an addition-
al two months to apply for financial assistance under the
Cover Crop Protection Program.
The new deadline for the 2006 and 2005 crop year
claims is Oct. 31.
The original application deadline for the $50 million
program was originally tomorrow.
"To date, the program has received around 8,000
applications for claims on more than 2.5 million acres,

but this figure only represents a third of the total num-
ber of claims we're anticipating," says Minister Strahl.
"We are extending the applica-
tion deadline to make sure every
Canadian farmer affected by floods
has the chance to apply," Strahl
adds.
The objective of the Cover Crop
Protection Program is to provide
one-time financial assistance to
farmers who were unable to plant
a commercial crop this year or in
2005 due to excess field moisture.
The funds will help offset
restoration costs for more than
three million acres of affected
farmland.
As of mid-August, more than 800
payments totalling $3 million have
been paid out to applicants with
verified claims.
Farmers, mainly in
Saskatchewan and Manitoba
where approximately 2.9 million
acres of productive farmland were
lost, can receive a one-time pay-
ment of $15 per acre for flooded
land.
All farm operations across
Canada affected by spring flooding
in the 2006 or 2005 crop year are
eligible to apply.
Program application forms will
be directly mailed to production
insurance clients who made claims
as a result of flooding losses in
2006 and 2005.
