CROP INSURANCE DEADLINE NOVEMBER 15

November 15 is the final date for Saskatchewan Crop Insurance customers to
submit 2006 production declarations and post-harvest claims.

"Both yield and quality losses are covered under the Crop Insurance
multi-peril insurance contract," Saskatchewan Crop Insurance General Manager
Stan Benjamin said. "However, if producers are unable to complete harvest by
the deadline, they must request an extension of insurance before November 15."

If approved, an extension of insurance protects against yield and grade losses
that occur after November 15.

Production declarations must be submitted before a post-harvest claim can be
registered. Declarations can be completed by phone, fax, mail, office visit,
or online through CropConnect at www.saskcropinsurance.com

To contact the nearest Saskatchewan Crop Insurance customer service office,
call 1-888-935-0000.
