There are over 300 published commodities in Canada. We believe AgriStability is the best program to react, whether it's to a drop in revenue, an increase in production costs or a loss of production. We've seen AgriStability help clients with trade issues, avian influenza, floods in B.C. and widespread drought in the Prairies. Our opinion is that it reacts fairly to widespread perils. We have seen issues with reinsurance in some regions where programs have been rolled out, and after a year the programs have disappeared due to the cost of reinsurance via private insurance companies. AgriStability provides a long-term solution for producers with stability.
