Episode Details

July was a nightmare for Prairie farmers—over 4,000 crop insurance claims filed across more than a million acres after devastating storms hit Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba. From July 3rd to 10th, Saskatchewan saw its worst damage in nearly 40 years, with flax and soybeans decimated; Alberta’s corn, canola, and lentils drowned under relentless rain, prompting disaster declarations in places like Westlock; Manitoba took fewer hits overall but still suffered losses in key crops like lentils and oats. Experts are urging farmers to file claims before harvest—or risk losing critical recovery support. Nature threw a wrench in the works, but help is on the way.
