Application for a contract 6(1) A qualified person who wishes to obtain insurance under this regulation must complete an application for insurance and submit it to the corporation, and (a) if the person wishes to obtain vegetable acreage loss insurance or select small farm acreage loss pilot program insurance, must complete a vegetable acreage loss insurance application and submit it to the corporation; or (b) if the person wishes to obtain pasture days insurance, must complete a pasture days insurance application and submit it to the corporation. 6(2) The corporation must not accept a vegetable acreage loss insurance application, a selection for small farm acreage loss pilot program insurance or pasture days insurance application from a qualified person unless the person has a contract of insurance. 6(3) A qualified person must apply for insurance – and an insured person must select, deselect or change coverage levels or other matters contemplated by the contract of insurance, the VALI supplementary terms and conditions, the small farm acreage loss supplementary terms and conditions or the pasture days insurance supplementary terms and conditions (as may be applicable) – in respect of (a) one or more insurable crops; (b) forage establishment insurance; (c) polycrop establishment insurance; (d) saskatoon establishment insurance; (e) strawberry establishment insurance; (f) excess moisture insurance; (g) the enhanced quality option; (h) the harvest flood option; (i) eligible vegetable crops; (j) eligible small farm crops; (k) pasture days insurance; and (l) novel crop insurance; in each case, on or before the dates provided for in the contract of insurance, the VALI supplementary terms and conditions, the small farm acreage loss supplementary terms and conditions or the pasture days insurance supplementary terms and conditions, whichever may apply. Contract 7(1) Every contract of insurance must be in the form set out in Schedule A. 7(2) A contract shall become a binding agreement between a qualified person and the corporation upon acceptance of the application for insurance by the corporation effective as of the beginning of the crop year for which the application for insurance is made and shall automatically renew from crop year to crop year thereafter until it is terminated or cancelled by the insured person or the corporation in accordance with the terms of the contract. 7(3) Upon the corporation's acceptance of an insured person's vegetable acreage loss insurance application or the selection by the insured person of small farm acreage loss pilot program insurance, the contract of insurance is amended to the extent contemplated by the VALI supplementary terms and conditions or the small farm acreage loss supplementary terms and conditions, as applicable. 7(4) Upon the corporation's acceptance of an insured person's pasture days insurance application, the contract of insurance is amended to the extent contemplated by the pasture days insurance supplementary terms and conditions. 7(5) Despite subsection (2), the corporation may, in accepting an application for insurance or continuing to provide AgriInsurance under an existing contract of insurance, impose conditions on the contract of insurance, including, but not limited to, (a) the condition that the insured person must cooperate with the corporation in respect of the administration of the contract; (b) the condition that the corporation has the right to conduct pre-harvest appraisals of insured crops of the insured person; and (c) the condition that the insured person pay any estimated premium and administration costs in advance of any insurance coverage coming into effect; and (d) the condition that the insured person pay administrative costs, as determined by the corporation, for yearly or occasional monitoring of the insured person's farm operations. 7(6) The corporation has the right to amend the terms and conditions of the contract from year to year without the consent of the insured person.

This is subject to subsection (10). 7(10) Before the corporation will reinstate a contract of insurance, the affected insured person shall pay the corporation all amounts the insured person owes the corporation at the time of the reinstatement. In addition, the insured person shall pay the corporation an administration fee equal to the greater of $100 and 10% of the amounts owed. The administration fee payable shall not exceed $500. The corporation may also apply the condition in clause 5(c) before any such reinstatement. 7(11) Despite any provision to the contrary in the contract of insurance, an insured person is deemed to breach section 32.01 of the contract of insurance if the insured person breaches section 11.01 of the person's contract of hail insurance under the most recent version of the Hail Insurance Regulation made under The Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation Act . 7(12) An insured person's crop history and insurance experience with the corporation (including, but not limited to, IPI and other probable yield calculations as well as premium discount or surcharge experience), is unique to that person and cannot be sold, assigned or otherwise transferred to another person without the prior written consent of the corporation. The corporation may withhold its consent. If the corporation gives its consent, it may impose whatever conditions, restrictions and limitations it considers appropriate, including, but not limited to, the condition that the transferee must complete a new application for insurance and submit it to the corporation. 7(13) Unless the corporation otherwise determines, any transaction that results in either of the following is deemed to be a sale, assignment or transfer for the purposes of subsection (12): (a) a change in control of an insured person that is a body corporate; (b) a change in the partners of an insured person that is a partnership. 7(14) To avoid doubt about the application of this regulation, 1. Fall planted saskatoon plants, fall seeded eligible forage establishment crops, fall rye and winter wheat must be planted or seeded within the seeding dates set out in Schedule A in effect for the crop year during which the planting or seeding takes place. In all other respects insurance in respect of any of those crops is governed by the contract of insurance between the corporation and the insured for the crop year following the crop year of planting or seeding. 2. Selections in respect of excess moisture insurance for a crop year must be made on or before the selection date set out in Schedule A in effect for the previous crop year. In all other respects the excess moisture insurance for a crop year is governed by the contract of insurance between the corporation and the insured for that crop year.

Terms and conditions 9(1) Insurance provided by the corporation under this regulation is subject to the terms and conditions set out in the contract. 9(2) For the purposes of subsection 36(1) of the Act, the corporation's decision with respect to its determination (a) of the cause of loss or damage; or (b) of the amount of production, percentage of production loss or number of acres, plants or livestock; occurs when the corporation provides the insured person with the details of the decision on the form approved by the corporation for that purpose. 9(3) When a decision referred to in subsection (2) relates to an insured crop, the following matters shall not form part of the decision: (a) the corporation's refusal to pay an indemnity to an insured person under the contract of insurance because that insured person did not leave the representative strips required by section 8.26 of the contract of insurance; (b) adjustments to production determination contemplated by the provisions of Part 14 of the contract of insurance – other than the determination of "Adjusted Production" under section 14.01 or "Appraised Production" under section 14.10 – insofar as they have been made at the corporation's discretion in accordance with that Part; (c) a decision by the corporation under the contract of insurance as to whether or not an insured person has destroyed acreage, destroyed plants or put acreage to an alternate use; (d) the grade, grade factor, dockage, moisture content and test weight assigned by the corporation to, or determined by it in respect of, an insured crop and used in the calculation of "Adjusted Production" for the crop. 9(4) When a claim is made by an insured person, the corporation may elect to settle the claim solely on the basis of a declaration made by the insured person on the form provided by the corporation for that purpose. 9(5) If a claim is settled in accordance with subsection (4), the corporation will not make a decision with respect to any of the matters set out in subsection 36(1) of the Act, and the claim will be finalized on the basis of the declaration made by the insured person. This is subject to subsections (6) and (7). No appeal of the claim may be made to the appeal tribunal established under that Act. 9(6) An insured person may ask the corporation to revise the grade or dockage used (a) in a declaration the insured person makes under subsection (4); or (b) in a calculation of indemnity form the corporation provides to the insured person in respect of a claim. 9(7) In a case mentioned in clause (6)⁠(a) or (b), the corporation will settle the claim on the basis of the grade and dockage of the sold production, provided the corporation is supplied with copies of sales receipts on or before August 15 of the following crop year. The form, content and authenticity of the sales receipts must be acceptable to the corporation. Coverage levels 10(1) Subject to subsection (2) and the contract, the coverage levels available and offered by the corporation are (a) 50%, 70% and 80% for each insurable crop other than select hay and basic hay; (b) 70% and 80% for select hay; and (c) 80% for basic hay. 10(2) Subsection (1) does not apply to CCP insurance, vegetable acreage loss insurance, small farm acreage loss pilot program insurance, pasture days insurance or novel crop insurance. Pasture coverage 11(1) Pasture coverage is the product obtained when maximum pastured livestock is multiplied by the dollar amount per head of eligible livestock and the coverage level selected for the type of hay insured. 11(2) Solely for the purposes of calculating the pasture indemnity of an insured person under the contract of insurance, the corporation does not apply the provisions of section 3.15 of the contract of insurance when determining the production guarantee for the select or basic hay. Pasture days insurance coverage 12 Pasture days insurance coverage is the product obtained when the normal animal unit days of the insured person is multiplied by 90%. Harvest flood option and enhanced quality option coverage 13(1) Under the harvest flood option, coverage is the product obtained when the total acreage of coarse hay less the harvest flood option deductible is multiplied by the dollar value for the harvest flood option. 13(2) Coverage for the enhanced quality option is the coverage determined in accordance with the following formula: A = (B − 105) × C × D In this formula, A is the coverage; B is the RFV Guarantee; C is the dollar value for the enhanced quality option; D is the production guarantee for the alfalfa insured as select hay. Hay disaster benefit 14(1) The hay disaster benefit covers the incremental cost of hay that occurs as a result of a significant provincial hay shortfall. 14(2) To trigger a hay disaster benefit payment, at least 30% of producers with select hay or basic hay insurance must have a yield of less than 50% of their probable yield for insured acreages of select hay and basic hay using all data reported by January 15 of the affected crop year. 14(3) When triggered, the hay disaster benefit is payable to insured persons that are eligible for a select hay, basic hay or harvest flood option indemnity in accordance with the following formula: A = B × C In this formula, A is the hay disaster benefit indemnity; B is the hay disaster benefit dollar value; C is the total hay tonnage shortfall of the insured person. Crop Coverage Plus coverage 15(1) CCP insurance cannot be selected by an insured person unless the person is eligible for the 80% coverage level and selects that coverage level for all CCP Crops. 15(2) Coverage for CCP insurance is determined by calculating a coverage level such that the expected loss for the collection of individual insurable crops selected by the insured person for CCP insurance would equal the total of the expected losses for the individual crops at the 80% coverage level under non-CCP insurance. Coverage cannot be finally calculated until the corporation determines the CCP crops that the insured person has grown and the amount of insured acreage of each of those crops. The coverage level used to calculate coverage for purposes of CCP insurance cannot in any event be more than 90%. 15(3) Coverage for CCP insurance is calculated based on data specific to the insured person's risk area. Each insured person is assigned to a risk area that the corporation determines as the risk area in which the majority of the insured person's seeded acres are located. Vegetable acreage loss insurance coverage 16 Coverage for vegetable acreage loss insurance is the product of acreage loss coverage and the number of acres insured. Small farm acreage loss pilot program insurance 17 Coverage for small farm acreage loss pilot program insurance is the product of acreage loss coverage and the number of acres insured. Methodology 18 The methods used for (a) calculating probable yields; (b) calculating premium rates; and (c) establishing (i) dollar values, (ii) acreage loss coverages for vegetable acreage loss insurance, and (iii) the pasture dollar value per animal unit day for pasture days insurance; are the methods set out in Schedules B, C and D. Dollar values and acreage loss coverages 19(1) The corporation shall establish the dollar values in each crop year for (a) each insurable crop other than pasture and select hay; (b) each type of pastured livestock if the insurable crop is pasture; (c) each animal unit day for pasture days insurance; (d) each select hay type if the insurable crop is select hay; (e) excess moisture insurance; (f) saskatoon establishment insurance; (g) strawberry establishment insurance; (h) forage establishment insurance; (i) polycrop establishment insurance; (j) novel crop insurance; (k) forage restoration; (l) the harvest flood option; (m) the enhanced quality option; and (n) the hay disaster benefit. 19(2) The corporation may, in establishing the dollar values in any crop year under subsection (1), provide for a low dollar value and one or more high dollar values for basic hay insurance, excess moisture insurance, forage establishment insurance, polycrop establishment insurance, novel crop insurance and the harvest flood option. 19(3) The corporation shall establish the acreage loss coverages in each crop year for vegetable acreage loss insurance and small farm acreage loss pilot program insurance. 19(4) All dollar values and acreage loss coverages established by the corporation shall be final and binding on the insured person. Establishment of areas and regions 20(1) The corporation may establish, and vary from time to time, (a) forage regions, insurance areas, insurance test areas, irrigation areas and risk areas within the province; and (b) soil productivity ratings. 20(2) The forage regions, insurance areas, insurance test areas, irrigation areas, risk areas and soil productivity ratings are shown as such on the corporation's public website at www.masc.mb.ca. Declaration of insurability by the corporation 21 The corporation may, in accordance with the contract, declare (a) that certain acreage is uninsurable for all insurable crops and for additional insurance programs, or is uninsurable for (i) certain designated perils, or (ii) certain insurable crops or varieties of insurable crops; (b) where there are varieties of insurable crops, that only those varieties approved by the corporation for a particular crop year shall be insurable in that crop year; (c) that certain varieties of insurable crops are uninsurable for certain designated perils or are insurable only in accordance with the restrictions determined by the corporation; and (d) that certain crops are insurable only under vegetable acreage loss insurance or small farm acreage loss pilot program insurance. Repeal 22 The AgriInsurance Regulation , Manitoba Regulation 102/2024, is repealed. Coming into force 23 This regulation is deemed to have come into force on April 1, 2025. SCHEDULE A (Section 7) CANADA — MANITOBA AgriInsurance AgriInsurance Contract (Effective 2025 Crop Year) BACKGROUND Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation (the "Corporation") is empowered under The Manitoba Agricultural Services Corporation Act (the "Act") to insure certain Persons under any insurance program established by a regulation made under the Act. That regulation sets forth the various methodologies for calculating Probable Yields, Premium rates and Dollar Values and contains expanded explanations of many of the terms used in this document. The Corporation may enter into a contract of insurance with a Person who is a "qualified person" within the meaning of that term in the Act, provided that Person has made application for such contract of insurance on or before March 31 of the year in which the insurance is to apply and such application has been accepted by the Corporation. The Person to whom the contract of insurance set out in this document is issued has made an Application to the Corporation for a contract of insurance and by doing so has represented to the Corporation that the applicant is a "qualified person". Under this contract of insurance, the Corporation insures against one or more of: (i) loss or damage beyond the insured person's control to an Insured Crop by reason of a Designated Peril, (ii) loss beyond the insured person's control respecting land not seeded by reason of a Designated Peril for Excess Moisture Insurance, (iii) loss or damage beyond the insured person's control respecting eligible forage establishment crops by reason of a Designated Peril during the period of establishment, or (iv) loss beyond the insured person's control respecting Saskatoon or Strawberry Plants by reason of a Designated Peril. In the case of damage to Insured Crops, the insurance is based solely on the loss of Production. The insurance provided does not insure against declines in market value. Subject to certain exceptions, the Insured must insure all acres of a crop selected for insurance. The indemnity is based on the number of acres that are insured, the loss of Production from those acres and the Dollar Value for each tonne of lost Production. The insurance provided is subject to the terms and conditions of this contract of insurance, including adjustments to Production for such things as dockage, quality and uninsured causes of loss and the requirement that the crop be seeded by certain dates. The indemnity is limited to a maximum amount and the indemnity payable may be limited to a percentage of the maximum indemnity depending upon the stage of the Insured Crop at the time the loss or damage occurred. In the case of Excess Moisture Insurance, Forage Establishment Insurance and Polycrop Establishment Insurance, the amount of the indemnity is based on the number of acres that the Insured was unable to seed or which did not achieve Establishment and a Dollar Value for each acre. In the case of Strawberry Establishment Insurance and Saskatoon Establishment Insurance, the amount of the indemnity is based on the number of Strawberry Plants and Saskatoon Plants, respectively, that do not establish and a Dollar Value for each affected Plant. The foregoing is intended to provide a brief description of the background and purpose of the insurance provided in this contract of insurance and does not form part of this Contract.

If the eligibility criteria set forth above is satisfied at the time the Organic Crop is sown, but the affected Acreage is not certified as land eligible for organic production during the Crop Year, and the Insured declares such Acreage as an Organic Crop, the Corporation will continue to insure such Acreage as an Organic Crop. 3.14 Basic Hay Restrictions. All types of Basic Hay shall be considered Basic Hay and one Insurable Crop for Dollar Value selection. For the purpose of calculating the Probable Yield of an Insured, calculations will be made separately for each type of Basic Hay and then combined into one value for all Basic Hay types. 3.15 Coarse Hay Restriction. If an Insured is unable to Harvest Acreage of Coarse Hay due to excessive moisture, the Insured is not eligible for a Production Loss Indemnity on the affected Acreage under Basic Hay Insurance or Select Hay Insurance. Acreage of Coarse Hay not Harvested due to excessive moisture will not be included in future Probable Yield calculations. 3.16 Canola — IPI Restrictions. For the purpose of calculating the Individual Productivity Index of an Insured, calculations will be made separately for each type of Polish and Argentine Canola including its corresponding Pedigreed Seed Crop, and then combined into one Individual Productivity Index for both types. 3.17 Fall Rye — IPI Restrictions. For the purpose of calculating the Individual Productivity Index of an Insured, calculations will be made separately for each type of hybrid fall rye and open pollinated fall rye and then combined into one Individual Productivity Index for both types. 3.18 Perennial Ryegrass Seed. Perennial Ryegrass Seed is only insurable as an Insured Crop in the Crop Year immediately following the Crop Year in which it was seeded and only if it has achieved Ground Cover of 75% or more of the Field. 3.19 Potato Restrictions. Potatoes grown for the purpose of producing seed are insurable under this Contract as Table Potatoes or Processing Potatoes, as defined and approved by the Corporation annually. Only Processing Potatoes (including its corresponding Pedigreed Seed Crop) can be insured as irrigated or non-irrigated Processing Potatoes. The Probable Yield for non-irrigated Processing Potatoes (including its corresponding Pedigreed Seed Crop) cannot exceed the Probable Yield for irrigated Processing Potatoes. 3.20 Volunteer Crops. Volunteer Crops are not eligible for insurance under this Contract. 3.21 Intercrop Mixtures. Intercrop Mixtures are eligible for insurance under this Contract only if they are insured under Novel Crop Insurance. 3.22 Fall Seeded Crops. Annual crops, other than Fall Rye or winter wheat, but including Greenfeed, seeded in the fall of the Crop Year prior to the Crop Year in which insurance is to apply and which are normally seeded in the spring, are not eligible for insurance under this Contract until the beginning of that following Crop Year and then only if such crops establish in the spring with a sufficient Stand to yield at least the Insured's Coverage for that crop and provided no loss or damage has occurred that is the result of spring frost, all as determined by the Corporation. 3.23 Broadcast and Aerial Seeding Restriction. If an Insurable Crop is sown by Broadcast Seeding or Aerial Seeding, such Insurable Crop is not eligible for insurance under this Contract unless the seed is incorporated into the soil by mechanical means and establishes with a sufficient Stand to yield at least the Insured's Coverage for that crop, all as determined by the Corporation. The incorporation date will be deemed to be the seeding date for the purposes of this Contract. Notwithstanding Section 7.01, the Insured must report any Aerial Seeded Acreage on the Seeded Acreage Report and if Aerial Seeded Acreage is reported, the deadline for submitting the Seeded Acreage Report is June 22. 3.24 Minimum Acreage. No insurance will be provided under this Contract if the Insured Acreage is less than five acres, except in the case of EMI and the Harvest Flood Option, in which case there must be a minimum of 10 acres of EMI Insured Acreage and Coarse Hay, respectively, for insurance to apply. Neither Forage Establishment Insurance or Polycrop Establishment Insurance is available if the Forage Establishment Acreage or the Polycrop Establishment Acreage, respectively, is less than five acres. A Select Hay Type is not insurable under Select Hay Insurance unless the Acreage of that Select Hay Type is equal to or greater than five acres. 3.25 Seeding Date Restrictions. No insurance will be provided under this Contract if an Insurable Crop is seeded after the seeding deadline for that crop as set forth in Section 6.01 or, if the Insurable Crop has an Extended Coverage Seeding Period, after the expiry of the Extended Coverage Seeding Period for the seeding of that Insurable Crop as set forth in Section 6.01. 3.26 Extended Coverage Seeding Period. For Acreage of an Insurable Crop seeded during the Extended Coverage Seeding Period for that Insurable Crop as set forth in Part 6, the Probable Yield of that Insured for that Insurable Crop on such Acreage will be reduced by 20%. The Coverage for that Acreage will be adjusted accordingly, but the Premium will not be adjusted. 3.27 Irrigation Requirements for Processing Potatoes, Vegetables, Strawberry Plants and Saskatoon Plants. For Processing Potatoes (including its corresponding Pedigreed Seed Crop) to qualify as irrigated potatoes, the Field on which the potatoes are planted must have an adequate water supply and working irrigation equipment capable of supplying the minimum water requirement for that Field, as shown on maps available in the service centres of the Corporation. In addition, the Insured shall maintain an up-to-date log showing the dates and approximate amounts of rainfall and water applied to each irrigated Field of Processing Potatoes (including its corresponding Pedigreed Seed Crop), which log and Field may be inspected by the Corporation at any time and from time to time. If the Insured does not irrigate any Acreage of Processing Potatoes (including its corresponding Pedigreed Seed Crop) in accordance with the foregoing requirements or does not maintain such a log, the Corporation may reclassify such Acreage as non-irrigated Acreage, in which case the Insured's Coverage and Premium will be adjusted. Any Acreage of carrots, Cooking Onions, parsnips, rutabagas, Strawberry Plants or Saskatoon Plants must be irrigated in a manner satisfactory to the Corporation as evidenced by the requirements on file with any service centre of the Corporation. If any such Acreage is not so irrigated, that Acreage is not eligible for insurance under this Contract and no Premium is payable by the Insured in respect of that Acreage. 3.28 Bacterial Ring Rot Restriction. If an Insured has had a prior occurrence of bacterial ring rot in Table Potatoes or Processing Potatoes (including their respective corresponding Pedigreed Seed Crop), no insurance will be offered under this Contract for subsequent potato production losses if an Insured has not, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, fully complied with a clean-up order issued in accordance with the Bacterial Ring Rot in Potatoes Regulation under The Plant Pests and Diseases Act (Manitoba) or with any sanitation requirements imposed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Any inspection performed by the Corporation in connection with or to satisfy the foregoing requirements shall be paid for by the Insured. 3.29 Fire Loss Restriction.

Any reference in this Contract to a non-Organic Crop that has an organic counterpart shall be deemed to include that counterpart. 3.31 All Crops Insured. If the Insured has All Crops Selected and the Corporation offers a new Insurable Crop for insurance in any Crop Year, then that new Insurable Crop shall be deemed to have been selected by the Insured for insurance in that Crop Year at the same Coverage Level as selected under All Crops Selected. 3.32 Baled Production in Wet Field. Notwithstanding the definition of "Harvest" and Section 22.13, if the Corporation determines that excess moisture has prevented the Insured from removing a Select Hay Type, Basic Hay or Greenfeed bales from the Field on a timely basis, the amount of production lost or damaged as a result of the excess moisture, until such time as the Corporation determines that the Harvested Select Hay Type, Basic Hay or Greenfeed bales could have been removed from the Field, will not be counted as Production. 3.33 Regulated Product. If an Insurable Crop is a regulated product as defined in Section 1 of The Farm Products Marketing Act (Manitoba), insurance under this Contract is only available for that Insurable Crop if the Insured has valid arrangements in place for the marketing and sale of all of the Insurable Crop in compliance with that Act and the regulations and orders under it. 3.34 Dollar Value Selection. For each Crop Year, the Corporation may establish for the purposes of the definition of "Dollar Value" in Section 1.01 more than one Dollar Value. On or before March 31 in the year prior to the Crop Year in which the insurance is to apply, the Insured must select the Dollar Value to apply in the circumstances for which the Corporation has established more than one Dollar Value. In the case of Insurable Crops, the Dollar Value selection made by the Insured may not be selected on an individual crop basis and will apply to all Insurable Crops selected by that Insured. 3.35 Fall Crop/EMI Insurability. Winter wheat, Fall Rye, fall planted Saskatoon Plants and fall seeded Eligible Forage Establishment Crops must be planted or seeded, as the case may be, within the dates, and selections in respect of Excess Moisture Insurance must be made by the dates, set out in Sections 6.01 and 30.05, respectively. However, any insurance in respect of the foregoing will be based on the Contract that is in effect as of the following April 1. 3.36 Appendices . The following appendices are hereby incorporated by reference into this Contract and form part of it. (i) Appendix A — Supplementary Terms and Conditions for Vegetable Acreage Loss Insurance, (ii) Appendix B — Supplementary Terms and Conditions for Pasture Days Insurance, (iii) Appendix C — Supplementary Terms and Conditions for Small Farm Acreage Loss Insurance Pilot Program. Each of Vegetable Acreage Loss Insurance, the Pasture Days Insurance and the Small Farm Acreage Loss Insurance Pilot Program is deemed to be an Additional Insurance Program under this Contract. PART 4 OBLIGATION TO INSURE 4.01 Entire Acreage. The entire Acreage of an Insured Crop in Manitoba and, for Forage Establishment Insurance, Polycrop Establishment Insurance and Excess Moisture Insurance, all Forage Establishment Acreage, Polycrop Establishment Acreage and all EMI Insured Acreage, respectively, and for Strawberry Establishment Insurance and Saskatoon Establishment Insurance, all Strawberry Plants and Saskatoon Plants, respectively, in which the Insured has a direct or indirect financial or other interest, as determined by the Corporation, either individually, in partnership, through a corporation in which the Insured is a Principal Shareholder or otherwise, must be insured with the Corporation. If the Insured is a corporation or a partnership, the entire Acreage of an Insured Crop in Manitoba and, for Forage Establishment Insurance, Polycrop Establishment Insurance and Excess Moisture Insurance, all Forage Establishment Acreage, Polycrop Establishment Acreage and all EMI Insured Acreage, respectively, and for Strawberry Establishment Insurance and Saskatoon Establishment Insurance, all Strawberry Plants and Saskatoon Plants, respectively, in which it and its Principal Shareholders or partners, as the case may be, have any such interest must be insured with the Corporation. If the Insured is a Landlord, the entire Acreage of an Insured Crop in Manitoba under a bona fide crop share lease agreement with a Tenant who is also an Insured must be insured with the Corporation, but the foregoing shall not require such Landlord to insure Acreage of that Insured Crop farmed by the Landlord independently. If a Landlord does not insure the Landlord's interest in an Insurable Crop and the Tenant of that Landlord elects to insure the Tenant's interest, the Tenant shall be obligated to insure both the Landlord's and the Tenant's interest in that Insurable Crop. 4.02 Exceptions — Greenfeed. Provided the Insured has not selected Greenfeed as an Insured Crop, any Acreage of Greenfeed of that Insured may be excluded from insurance on an individual field basis upon written request made by the Insured (which includes any request made in the Insured's Seeded Acreage Report) and received by the Corporation on or before June 30. If such a request is not received by the Corporation on or before such deadline or if the Acreage is not used by the Insured for livestock feed, the Corporation may refuse to accept the request for exclusion from insurance or may reclassify the relevant Acreage as Acreage to which insurance will apply and the Premium and Administration Fees shall be deemed earned by the Corporation and payable by the Insured for such Acreage. 4.03 Exceptions — Silage Corn. If an Insured has selected Grain Corn or Open Pollinated Corn as an Insured Crop and declares Silage Corn on the Seeded Acreage Report which is subsequently put to an Alternate Use by threshing it as Grain Corn or Open Pollinated Corn, as the case may be, the Acreage so Harvested may be considered as Grain Corn or Open Pollinated Corn, as applicable, and the Insured shall be required to pay to the Corporation the Premium and Administration Fees on all such Acreage unless the Insured's Adjusted Production on that Acreage falls short of the Production Guarantee for Grain Corn or Open Pollinated Corn, as the case may be, on that Acreage. In that case, such corn shall be considered to be Silage Corn and Coverage on such Acreage shall be calculated on that basis. 4.04 High Generation Seed Plots/Test Plots. Notwithstanding Section 4.01, an Insured may, with the prior consent of the Corporation, elect to not insure the High Generation Seed Plots and/or Test Plots of that Insured, in which case, all such Acreage shall be excluded from insurance under this Contract. If such an election is made, all Production from such Acreage shall be kept separate from Production of all Insured Acreage. If the Insured fails to keep the Production separate in accordance with the foregoing requirement to the satisfaction of the Corporation, the Corporation may, in its discretion, combine Production from Insured Acreage with Production from uninsured Acreage and calculate Production for the Insured Acreage, in such manner as the Corporation may determine. 4.05 Landlord Selections. If the Insured is a Landlord, the Insured Crops, Dollar Value (if more than one Dollar Value is offered by the Corporation) and Coverage Level for the Landlord's Acreage shall be those selected by the Tenant(s). Any selection made by a Tenant from time to time in respect of the EMI Reduced Deductible Option shall also be binding on the Landlord of that Tenant. The EMI Deductible that applies from time to time in respect of a Tenant shall also be the EMI Deductible applied against the Landlord of that Tenant. An Insured who is a Landlord shall be bound by the information contained in the Seeded Acreage Report, Harvested Production Report and all claims or other documents filed by the Tenant as they relate to such Landlord's Acreage. For a Landlord to be eligible for insurance under this Contract, the Landlord and Tenant shall have entered into a bona fide crop share lease agreement under which payment of rent is determined entirely by a share or portion of the Insured Crop on the Acreage leased and no part of the lease payment is subject to a minimum monetary payment. PART 5 UNINSURED CAUSES OF LOSS 5.01 Uninsured Causes. This Contract does not insure against any loss or damage, resulting from one or more of the following: (i) inadequate soil fertility, (ii) the use of seed, plants or transplants which do not meet acceptable standards, (iii) subject to Section 11.06, weeds or chemical damage, including damage resulting from the use of herbicides or pesticides, (iv) competition from any crop or plant growing with the Insured Crop, Eligible Forage Establishment Crop, Eligible Polycrop Establishment Crop, Strawberry Plant or Saskatoon Plant, (v) a shortage of labour or machinery, (vi) damage to the Insured Crop, Eligible Forage Establishment Crop, Eligible Polycrop Establishment Crop, Strawberry Plant or Saskatoon Plant which is a result of improper operation of machinery, (vii) grazing by livestock, (viii) pests or disease, unless the Insured establishes to the satisfaction of the Corporation that measures for control of such pests or disease were performed, (ix) improper seed bed preparation, seed placement or planting methods, (x) improper crop rotation, (xi) early seeding which results in an unreasonable increase in the risk of loss, (xii) stem rust, if the Insured Crop is winter wheat, (xiii) an inadequate population of leafcutter bees, if the Insured Crop is Alfalfa Seed, (xiv) frost damage, if the variety of the Insured Crop affected by the damage is not appropriate for the area in which it was seeded, (xv) bacterial ring rot, if a certified or better seed source is not used, (xvi) inadequate straw or mulch cover, in the case of Strawberry Establishment Insurance, (xvii) for land declared by the Corporation under Section 3.03 as having restricted coverage due to flooding, loss or damage caused by adjacent lake water, (xviii) any other negligence, neglect, misconduct, or improper farming practice of the Insured, or of agents or employees of the Insured, and all as determined by the Corporation. 5.02 Adjustment for Uninsured Causes.

Notwithstanding Section 8.13, any notification of a claim for indemnity received by the Corporation after the deadline provided for in Section 8.11 may be classified as a late claim and, if the late claim is permitted by the Corporation, will be assessed a late filing fee of 25% of the Harvest Flood Option Indemnity as determined by the Corporation, subject to a maximum fee of $1,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, notification of a claim for a Harvest Flood Option Indemnity will not in any event be accepted by the Corporation if it is received by the Corporation after October 15. 8.21 Late Claim — Strawberry and Saskatoon Establishment. Notwithstanding Section 8.13, any notification of a claim for indemnity received by the Corporation after the deadline provided for in Section 8.12 may be classified as a late claim and, if the late claim is permitted by the Corporation, will be assessed a late filing fee of 25% of the Strawberry Establishment Insurance Indemnity or the Saskatoon Establishment Insurance Indemnity, as the case may be, as determined by the Corporation, subject to a maximum fee of $1,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, notification of a claim for a Strawberry Establishment Insurance Indemnity or a Saskatoon Establishment Insurance Indemnity, as the case may be, will not in any event be accepted by the Corporation if it is received by the Corporation after June 30 immediately following the period in which such insurance is effective under Section 3.04. 8.22 Final Date. Subject to Sections 8.15, 8.16, 8.17, 8.18, 8.19, 8.20 and 8.21 in which case the dates listed in those Sections are the final dates, notification of a claim for indemnity will not in any event be accepted by the Corporation if it is received by the Corporation after March 31 of the Crop Year in which the insurance applied. 8.23 Appraisal of Loss. Upon receipt of notification of a claim in the manner and within the time provided for in this Part, the Corporation shall appraise the loss for the Insured Crop or any Additional Insurance Program, as the case may be. 8.24 Notice of Appraisal. Upon completion of any appraisal of loss for an Insured Crop or any Additional Insurance Program, as the case may be, under this Contract, the Corporation may notify the Insured of the results of such appraisal in writing using the Corporation's email system and otherwise in accordance with Section 38.01. Within that email, the Insured must accept or reject the appraisal presented by the Corporation. If the appraisal is rejected by the Insured, the Insured may appeal the results of the appraisal in accordance with Part 29 of this Contract. If the appraisal is not accepted or rejected pursuant to such email within seven days of receipt or deemed receipt of the email, the Insured shall be deemed to have accepted the results of such appraisal. 8.25 Claims by Declaration. When a claim is made by an Insured, the Corporation may elect to settle the claim solely on the basis of a declaration made by the Insured on the form provided by the Corporation for that purpose, in which case no appeal is available under Section 29.01 of this Contract. 8.26 Representative Strips for Adjusting. If loss or damage occurs to an Insured Crop as the result of a Designated Peril while that crop is standing or is cut and ready for threshing, subject to notice of loss or damage being given in accordance with the terms of this Part, the Insured may proceed to Harvest, Destroy or reseed that Insured Crop or put the affected Acreage to an Alternate Use, provided that one representative strip of no less than 10 feet in width either: (i) the full length of the Field for each 40 acres or less of the Insured Crop which has been damaged or lost, or (ii) one-third the distance in from the edge of the Field and completely around the Field, is left for inspection by the Corporation. If the Insured makes a claim under this Contract and the Insured proceeds to reseed, Harvest or Destroy that Insured Crop or put the affected Acreage to an Alternate Use without leaving the representative strip(s) contemplated by this Section, the Corporation may refuse to pay any indemnity otherwise payable to the Insured under this Contract. 8.27 Nil Claim Adjusting Fee. If it is finally determined that the Insured is not entitled to any indemnity hereunder, the Corporation may, in its discretion, require the Insured to pay all costs incurred by the Corporation in appraising and investigating the claim by the Insured. 8.28 Right to Deny.

All notices required or permitted to be given by an Insured under this Part shall be on the form required by the Corporation from time to time for that purpose. PART 9 INDEMNITY 9.01 Insured's Obligations. No indemnity shall be paid for a loss or claim hereunder, unless the Insured establishes to the satisfaction of the Corporation that: (i) the loss resulted directly from one or more of the Designated Perils for that Insured Crop or Additional Insurance Program, and (ii) the Insured reported the loss as required in this Contract. 9.02 Determination by Crop. Except for CCP Insurance, Pedigreed Seed Crops and the corresponding non-Pedigreed Seed Crops, the loss in respect of an Insured Crop, and the amount of indemnity payable therefore, shall be determined separately for each Insured Crop. 9.03 Indemnity Calculation. The maximum indemnity for loss or damage to an Insured Crop, loss or damage in respect of CCP Insurance or loss or damage in respect of an Additional Insurance Program shall be: (i) subject to paragraphs (ii) and (vi) below, the Dollar Value multiplied by the Production Loss for an Insured Crop, (ii) the Production Value Loss for A. Alfalfa Seed, B. Canola, C. a Pedigreed Seed Crop or the corresponding non-Pedigreed Seed Crop, but only where the Pedigreed Seed Crop and the corresponding non-Pedigreed Seed Crop are grown in the same Crop Year, and D. CCP Insurance, (iii) the EMI Indemnity provided by Part 16 for Excess Moisture Insurance, (iv) the Forage Establishment Indemnity provided by Part 18 for Forage Establishment Insurance, (v) the Polycrop Establishment Indemnity provided by Part 19 for Polycrop Establishment Insurance, (vi) the Forage Restoration Indemnity provided by Part 20 for Forage Restoration, (vii) the Pasture Indemnity provided by Part 21 for Pasture, (viii) the Hay Disaster Benefit Indemnity provided by Section 22.17 for the Hay Disaster Benefit, (ix) the Enhanced Quality Option Indemnity provided by Part 23 for the Enhanced Quality Option, (x) the Harvest Flood Option Indemnity provided by Part 24 for the Harvest Flood Option, (xi) the Strawberry Establishment Insurance Indemnity provided by Part 26 for Strawberry Establishment Insurance, and (xii) the Saskatoon Establishment Insurance Indemnity provided by Part 27 for Saskatoon Establishment Insurance. 9.04 Stage Indemnities. If loss or damage occurs to an Insured Crop in Stage 1 or Stage 2 UH, the Insured will only be eligible for a Stage Indemnity for Stage 1 or Stage 2 UH and the Indemnity Level shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Parts 10, 11 and 12. 9.05 Obligation to Cooperate. It is a condition precedent to the payment of any indemnity hereunder that the Insured has cooperated fully with the Corporation, its agents and employees in appraising and investigating the claim or loss. 9.06 Wildlife Damage Compensation Offset. Where an Insured has received or is eligible to receive a Wildlife Damage Compensation Payment, the Corporation shall deduct such payment or payments or portion thereof, as determined by the Corporation, from any indemnity otherwise payable under this Contract. PART 10 STAGE 1 10.01 Calculation. If loss or damage occurs to an Insured Crop, other than tall fescue seed, Fall Rye, winter wheat, Select Hay Types, Basic Hay, Alfalfa Seed, Pedigreed Timothy Seed or Perennial Ryegrass Seed, for which a Stage 1 indemnity does not apply, as a result of a Designated Peril during Stage 1, the Insured is eligible for a Stage Indemnity. The Indemnity Level for Stage 1 is 50%. 10.02 Stage 1 Limitation. If the Corporation acknowledges in writing that loss or damage has occurred during Stage 1 and thereafter the Insured Crop on that portion of the Acreage on which the loss or damage occurred is Destroyed or such Acreage is put to an Alternate Use by the Insured, the indemnity on the affected Acreage shall be limited to the Stage Indemnity for Stage 1. 10.03 Partial Stage 1. Subject to Section 17.06, unless the affected Acreage is the entire Acreage of the Insured Crop, indemnity payments for Stage 1 claims will be withheld until Adjusted Production is determined and will not be payable if Adjusted Production exceeds the Production Guarantee or the Production Value exceeds the Production Value Guarantee, as the case may be. The final indemnity, if any, payable to the Insured shall take into account any Stage 1 indemnity payable. 10.04 Reseeded to Same Crop. Notwithstanding the Corporation's written acknowledgement given under Section 10.02, no indemnity shall be payable for a Stage 1 claim if the affected Acreage is reseeded to the same Insured Crop at any time before the end of the Extended Coverage Seeding Period for that Insured Crop. 10.05 Appraised Production. If the Insured elects to Destroy the entire Insured Crop or a portion of the Insured Crop with the prior written consent of the Corporation and does not reseed to the same Insured Crop, the Corporation may include as part of Adjusted Production for the Insured Crop, any Appraised Production for the affected Acreage in excess of the product of the Coverage multiplied by the affected Acreage multiplied by the Indemnity Level for Stage 1, to a maximum of the Coverage for Stage 1. PART 11 RESEEDING 11.01 Eligibility and Calculation. If loss or damage has occurred to an Insured Crop or annual Novel Crop during Stage 1, other than tall fescue seed, Select Hay Types, Basic Hay, Alfalfa Seed, Pedigreed Timothy Seed or Perennial Ryegrass Seed, as a result of one or more of the Designated Perils for that Insured Crop or annual Novel Crop, as applicable, such that, in the case of an Insured Crop, the Appraised Production is less than the Probable Yield multiplied by the affected Acreage or, in the case of an annual Novel Crop, that annual Novel Crop has not, in the opinion of the Corporation, achieved Establishment, and the Reseeded Crop is (i) an Insurable Crop that has been selected by the Insured as an Insured Crop for that Crop Year, (ii) an annual Novel Crop (provided the Insured has selected Novel Crop Insurance for that Crop Year), or (iii) an Eligible Forage Establishment Crop (provided the Insured has selected Forage Establishment Insurance for that Crop Year), the Insured is eligible for an Acreage Indemnity on all such Acreage that, with the prior written consent of the Corporation, is reseeded before or during the Extended Coverage Seeding Period for the Reseeded Crop as set forth in Part 6. For the purposes of the foregoing, if Greenfeed is the Reseeded Crop, all Acreage of Greenfeed must be reseeded on or before June 20 in order for the Insured to be eligible for an Acreage Indemnity on the damaged crop. The Acreage Indemnity will be calculated utilizing the Coverage and Dollar Value of the damaged crop and an Indemnity Level of 25%, except for carrots, Cooking Onions, parsnips and rutabagas, in which case the Indemnity Level will be 15%. 11.02 Reseeding — Same Crop. If the damaged crop is reseeded to the same crop before or during the Extended Coverage Seeding Period for that crop as set forth in Part 6, and the Insured is eligible for an Acreage Indemnity under Section 11.01, the insurance that remains in force for that damaged crop shall be reduced by the indemnity paid or payable in accordance with this Part. 11.03 Reseeding — Different Crop. If the damaged crop is Reseeded to a different Insured Crop, the Insured must pay the full Premium on the Reseeded Crop as well as the Premium on the damaged crop and the Reseeded Crop is insured under the provisions of this Contract. 11.04 Reseeding — Winter Wheat/Fall Rye. In the case of Fall Rye and winter wheat, a Reseed claim may only be made after April 1 of the year in which the Fall Rye or winter wheat is to be Harvested. 11.05 Overseeding — Winter Wheat/Fall Rye. If winter wheat or Fall Rye is the damaged crop and is Overseeded, then no Acreage Indemnity is payable in respect of that damaged winter wheat or Fall Rye. The crop resulting from the Overseeding may be insured under the provisions of this Contract as Other Spring Wheat or Mixed Grain, or not insured at all, in each case, as determined by the Corporation. If the Corporation elects to insure the resulting crop in accordance with the foregoing, a Premium is only payable in respect of that crop and not on the damaged crop. 11.06 Reseeding — Organic Crops. For Organic Crops, weeds shall be considered a Designated Peril for the purposes of determining whether an Acreage Indemnity under Section 11.01 is payable, provided generally accepted organic weed management practices have been followed, all as determined by the Corporation. 11.07 Reseeding — Novel Crop. If the damaged crop is a Novel Crop and is reseeded to a different Novel Crop, or to an Insured Crop, the Insured must pay the full Premium on the Reseeded Crop as well as the Premium on the damaged crop and the Reseeded Crop is insured under the provisions of this Contract. 11.08 Reseeding — Canola and Pedigreed Seed Crops. If Acreage is first seeded to one type of Canola or Pedigreed Seed Crop, as the case may be, and then Reseeded to another type of Canola or non-Pedigreed Seed Crop, as the case may be, any Reseeding benefit payable shall be calculated on the basis of the first seeded crop type and the Insured must pay the full Premium only on the Reseeded Crop type and Dollar Coverage on the Reseeded Crop type is reduced by the amount of the indemnity paid on the first seeded crop type. 11.09 Overseeding or Reseeding Approval. The Insured shall obtain the approval of the Corporation before Overseeding or Reseeding a damaged crop. In the case of Overseeding, the Acreage Indemnity will only be paid by the Corporation to the Insured if such Overseeding is carried out in a manner approved by the Corporation. In the case of the Reseeding benefit, the Acreage Indemnity will only be paid if the damaged crop is Reseeded. 11.10 Minimum Acreage. For an Acreage Indemnity to apply, the Acreage of the damaged crop eligible to be reseeded must be in a block or blocks of no less than: (i) three acres for carrots, Cooking Onions, parsnips or rutabagas, (ii) 10 acres for Table Potatoes and Processing Potatoes (including their respective corresponding Pedigreed Seed Crop), and (iii) 20 acres for any other Insured Crop, unless the affected Acreage is the entire Acreage of that Field and the entire Field is eligible to be reseeded. 11.11 Limitation. An Acreage Indemnity payable pursuant to this Part shall be paid only once on the same Acreage in the same Crop Year except where Fall Rye or winter wheat is the affected Insured Crop in which case an Acreage Indemnity pursuant to this Part may be paid twice in the same Crop Year. 11.12 Inability to Reseed — Excess Moisture. If an Insured is unable to reseed a damaged crop (including Fall Rye and winter wheat) on or before June 20 in any Crop Year because of excess moisture, the Corporation may consider the loss as a Stage 2 UH loss in respect of that damaged crop notwithstanding the loss or damage occurred during Stage 1. 11.13 Novel Crop Maximum Acreage Count Exclusion. If any Acreage of Insured Crops not eligible for CCP Insurance (other than any Organic Crop) is Destroyed during Stage 1, such Acreage shall not count towards the calculation of the affected Insured's Novel Crop Maximum Acreage. PART 12 STAGE 2 12.01 Stage 2 UH Calculation. If loss or damage occurs to an Insured Crop, as a result of a Designated Peril during Stage 2 UH, the Insured is eligible for a Stage Indemnity. The Indemnity Level for Stage 2 UH is 100%, except for when Table and Processing Potatoes (including their respective corresponding Pedigreed Seed Crop)are Destroyed, the Indemnity Level is restricted to 90%, and when Cooking Onions, rutabagas, carrots and parsnips are Destroyed, the Indemnity Level is restricted to 85%. 12.02 Stage 2 UH Limitation. If the Corporation acknowledges in writing that loss or damage has occurred during Stage 2 UH and thereafter the Insured Crop on that portion of the Acreage on which the loss or damage occurred is Destroyed or such Acreage is put to an Alternate Use by the Insured, the indemnity on the affected Acreage shall be limited to the Stage Indemnity for Stage 2 UH. 12.03 Partial Stage 2 UH. Subject to Section 17.06, unless the affected Acreage is the entire Acreage of the Insured Crop, indemnity payments for Stage 2 UH claims will be withheld until Adjusted Production is determined and will not be payable if Adjusted Production exceeds the Production Guarantee or the Production Value exceeds the Production Value Guarantee, as the case may be. 12.04 Stage 2 H. If the Corporation receives a notice of loss pursuant to Section 8.01, the Corporation shall calculate a final indemnity based on Section 9.03 in accordance with the following: (i) the Indemnity Level for all Stage 2 H claims is 100%, (ii) the Corporation shall include, as part of Adjusted Production, any Appraised Production for the affected Stage 1 Acreage and Stage 2 UH Acreage, and (iii) the Corporation shall take into account any indemnity amounts which have been paid or are payable pursuant to Parts 10, 11 and 20 and for Stage 2 UH. 12.05 Backstaging. If the Corporation receives a Stage 2 UH claim which, in the opinion of the Corporation, should have been made as a Stage 1 claim, the Corporation may consider the claim as a Stage 1 claim. If the Corporation receives a Stage 2 H claim which, in the opinion of the Corporation, should have been made as a Stage 2 UH claim, the Corporation may consider the claim as a Stage 2 UH claim. 12.06 Greenfeed Exception. If an Insured has selected Greenfeed as an Insured Crop and the Greenfeed was seeded during the Extended Coverage Seeding Period for Greenfeed and (i) loss or damage occurs to that Insured Crop as a result of a Designated Peril during Stage 2, and (ii) following that loss or damage, the Insured reseeds the affected Acreage to Greenfeed during the Extended Coverage Seeding Period for Greenfeed, the Insured is eligible for a Stage Indemnity on the damaged crop. The Reseeded Crop is not eligible for insurance under this Contract. PART 13 PAYMENT OF INDEMNITY 13.01 Payment. Payment of any amount owed to the Insured under this Contract shall be sent to the Insured on or before the expiry of 90 days from the date of the final determination of the total amount owed to the Insured for all Insured Crops and Additional Insurance Programs. 13.02 Overpayment. If the Corporation overpays an Insured on a claim for indemnity under this Contract, the Insured shall repay such overpaid amount to the Corporation within the time prescribed by the Corporation. PART 14 PRODUCTION DETERMINATION 14.01 Method. The Corporation may determine the Adjusted Production of an Insured Crop or the loss in respect of any Additional Insurance Program by any method it considers proper. 14.02 Carryover Production. The Insured shall notify the Corporation in writing prior to Harvest or August 15, whichever is the earlier, of any Carryover Production. Carryover Production shall be included in the current Crop Year's Production for all purposes of this Contract if the Corporation cannot, to its satisfaction, separate the Carryover Production from the Production for the current Crop Year. The Insured may be required to pay the Corporation such inspection fee as is determined by the Corporation for inspecting Carryover Production under this Section. 14.03 Crop Mixtures. In considering a claim for indemnity in respect of an Insured Crop where there is Production of another Insurable Crop or any other agricultural crop (including Volunteer Crops) with the Insured Crop, the Corporation may convert any amount of Production of such other Insurable Crop or agricultural crop into an equivalent Production of the Insured Crop utilizing the market value as determined by the Corporation of such other Insurable Crop or agricultural crop in making such conversion and add such converted Production to the Production of the Insured Crop. The sum of the Production of such crops so determined shall be deemed to be the Production of the Insured Crop for claim purposes only. 14.04 Quality Adjustment. When the quality of Production of an Insured Crop is reduced as a result of one or more of the Designated Perils for that Insured Crop or an adjustment for moisture content is necessary, the adjustment in determining the Adjusted Production for that Insured Crop shall be made: (i) in the case of Select Hay Types, by factoring Production downward to the equivalent Production at 15% moisture if the moisture content is greater than 15% and downward proportionally to a minimum RFV of 25 if the RFV is below 105 for alfalfa, 95 for alfalfa grass mixtures or sweet clover, 85 for grasses or 75 for Coarse Hay, all as determined by the Corporation and, if the visual assessment procedure established by the Corporation determines a quality loss, by reducing Production accordingly as determined by the Corporation, (ii) in the case of Basic Hay, by factoring Production downward to the equivalent Production at 15% moisture if the moisture content is greater than 15%, and if the visual assessment procedure established by the Corporation determines a quality loss, by reducing Production accordingly as determined by the Corporation, (iii) in the case of Greenfeed, by factoring Production downwards to the equivalent Production at 15% moisture content and downward proportionally to a minimum RFV of 25 if the RFV is below 100, all as determined by the Corporation, and if the visual assessment procedure established by the Corporation determines a quality loss, by reducing Production accordingly as determined by the Corporation, (iv) in the case of Table Potatoes, Processing Potatoes, Hemp Grain, Field Peas (including its corresponding Pedigreed Seed Crop), carrots, Cooking Onions, parsnips and rutabagas, by adjusting Production to marketable production as determined by the Corporation, (v) in the case of tall fescue seed, Common Alfalfa Seed, Pedigreed Alfalfa Seed, Perennial Ryegrass Seed, Annual Ryegrass Seed or Pedigreed Timothy Seed, where Production of those crops is below 80% germination, by reducing Production by the proportion by which germination is below 80%, (vi) in the case of Silage Corn, where the moisture content of the Production is less than or greater than 65%, by factoring Production downwards or upwards, as the case may be, in the same proportion to which the percentage of moisture content is less than or greater than 65% and downward proportionally to a minimum total digestible nutrients (TDN) of 25 if the TDN is below 70, all as determined by the Corporation, (vii) in the case of all other Insured Crops with a Guaranteed Grade, by multiplying the Production (after adjustment for dockage and moisture, as applicable) of such Insured Crop by the Grade Factor of such Insured Crop, provided that: A. in the case of a Pedigreed Seed Crop, the Grade Factor for those crops shall be the same as the Grade Factor for its corresponding non-Pedigreed Seed Crop, B. in the case of an Organic Crop, the Grade Factor for those crops shall be the same as the Grade Factor for its corresponding non-Organic Crop, and C. in the case of white pea beans, black beans, kidney beans, cranberry beans, small red beans, pinto beans and Other Dry Edible Beans, pick will be considered when determining the net tonnes of Production and pick charges will be considered when determining the per tonne market value of Production used to establish the Grade Factor, all as determined by the Corporation. 14.05 Crops Without Guaranteed Grade. Except for the Insured Crops specifically set forth under Section 14.04, no adjustment will be made under that Section for any Insured Crop or variety thereof which has not been assigned a Guaranteed Grade by the Corporation. 14.06 Quality Determination. If the quality of Production of an Insured Crop is reduced below the Guaranteed Grade for that Insured Crop by reason of an uninsured cause of loss for that Insured Crop including, without limitation, inseparable seeds and foreign material, the grade or market value the Insured Crop has in the absence of such uninsurable cause of loss shall be considered as the grade or market value for determining Adjusted Production, all as determined by the Corporation. In cases where mechanical or other damage occurs including, without limitation, split or cracked seeds, all or a portion of such damaged Production as determined by the Corporation will be added in the calculation of Adjusted Production. 14.07 Keeping Production Separate. If an Insured fails to keep Production from Insured Acreage separate from Production from uninsured Acreage or from Production from land that is not insured by the Corporation or from the Production of any other person(s) or from Acreage that is insured under a Landlord and Tenant arrangement or an Insured fails to keep Production of any Pedigreed Seed Crop separate from Production of other types of that crop or an Insured fails to keep Production of any Organic Crop separate from Production of other types of that crop, in each case, to the satisfaction of the Corporation, the Corporation may, in its discretion, (i) combine Production from Insured Acreage with Production from uninsured Acreage, with Production from land that is not insured by the Corporation, with Production of such other persons, with Production from Acreage that is insured under a Landlord and Tenant arrangement and with Production of other types of the affected crop, and (ii) calculate Production for the Insured Acreage, in such manner as the Corporation may determine. 14.08 Destroyed or Alternate Use. If an Insured Crop, or portion of an Insured Crop, is Destroyed, or the Acreage of such Insured Crop is put to an Alternate Use, without the Corporation's written consent, Appraised Production from such Acreage shall be deemed to be an amount equal to Coverage multiplied by the number of acres of the Insured Crop Destroyed or put to an Alternate Use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purpose of IPI Yield or other Probable Yield calculations, Appraised Production from the Acreage of an Insured Crop that is Destroyed without the Corporation's consent shall be deemed to be "zero". Appraised Production from Acreage put to an Alternate Use without the Corporation's consent shall be deemed to be 70% of Probable Yield multiplied by the number of acres put to an Alternate Use. 14.09 Surplus Production — Potatoes and Vegetables. An Insured who has surplus Production of Table Potatoes, Processing Potatoes (including, in each case, their respective corresponding Pedigreed Seed Crop), carrots, Cooking Onions, parsnips or rutabagas in the Field must, before Destroying any of the surplus Production, (i) give the Corporation notice of the surplus Production; and (ii) if the Corporation agrees that it is surplus Production, choose one the following options: A. request the Corporation to appraise the surplus Production on a fee-for-service basis, with the fee to be established by the Corporation; or B. have Appraised Production on the surplus Production set at Probable Yield for that Crop Year multiplied by the number of acres of surplus Production. After the Corporation determines Appraised Production under this Section, the Insured shall Destroy all of the affected surplus Production. The Appraised Production determined by the Corporation under subparagraph B. will be used for both claim calculations and Probable Yield calculations. If the Insured does not give the notice required by paragraph (i), the surplus Production shall be deemed to be Destroyed without the Corporation's consent and Section 14.08 shall apply. 14.10 Pre-Harvest Farm Inspection. If the Corporation has completed a pre-Harvest inspection of a crop for the purposes of calculating Appraised Production of that crop, the Corporation may, in its discretion, use the Production indicated on the Insured's Harvested Production Report, the Insured's claim or the Appraised Production for the purposes of calculating the Adjusted Production, the IPI Yield or other Probable Yield calculations for that crop. 14.11 Potato Adjustments. If a claim on Table Potatoes is outstanding on December 1, the Production of Table Potatoes (including its corresponding Pedigreed Seed Crop) will be increased by applying a factor that accounts for shrinkage as the Corporation determines to be appropriate. If any Production of Table Potatoes or Processing Potatoes (including, in each case, their respective corresponding Pedigreed Seed Crop) has to be washed and graded in order to be salvaged as marketable Production, an additional factor that accounts for washing and grading will be applied to reduce that Production, all as determined by the Corporation. If the Production of Table Potatoes or Processing Potatoes (including, in each case, their respective corresponding Pedigreed Seed Crop) is discounted at market due to non-standard size or quality, the Corporation may, in its discretion, apply a factor reducing such Production to such amount as the Corporation considers appropriate. 14.12 Vegetable Wash Factor. If any Production of carrots, rutabagas, Cooking Onions or parsnips has to be washed and graded in order to be salvaged as marketable Production, an additional factor that accounts for washing and grading will be applied to reduce that Production, all as determined by the Corporation. 14.13 Immeasurable Production. If, at the time the Corporation appraises the loss or damage to an Insured Crop, the Production is in an immeasurable position and remains so until the Production is moved to market, the claim in respect of that Insured Crop will be finalized on the basis of the quantity of Production sold and the original grade of the stored Production, provided that a representative sample was obtained, all as determined by the Corporation in its discretion. If the Production of that Insured Crop is measurable by the Corporation before being moved to market, the claim in respect of that Insured Crop will be finalized on the basis of the grade and quantity determined by the Corporation in its discretion. 14.14 Ownership of Samples. All samples of an Insured Crop acquired by the Corporation in connection with insurance under this Contract shall become the property of the Corporation. 14.15 Grade/Dockage Adjustments. Subject to Sections 14.03 and 14.06, an Insured may request the Corporation to revise the grade and/or dockage used in a declaration the Insured makes under Section 8.23 or in a calculation of indemnity form the Corporation provides to the Insured in respect of a claim for indemnity under this Contract, in which case the Corporation will settle the claim on the basis of the grade and dockage of the sold Production, provided the Insured supplies the Corporation with copies of the sales receipts for that Production on or before August 15 of the following Crop Year. 14.16 Moisture Content/Test Weight Adjustments. If an Insured does not agree with the moisture content or test weight of the Production of an Insured Crop determined by the Corporation and provided there is sufficient Production to resample, the Insured may request the Corporation to resample that Production, in which case the moisture content and test weight determined by that resample shall be final and binding on the Insured and shall be used by the Corporation in determining any indemnity payable to the Insured in respect of that Production. The Insured shall pay all costs associated with the resampling process. 14.17 RFV and TDN Adjustment. If an Insured does not agree with the RFV of the Production of Greenfeed or Select Hay Type or the total digestible nutrients (TDN) of the Production of Silage Corn determined by the Corporation and provided there is sufficient Production to resample, the Insured may request the Corporation to resample that Production, in which case the relative feed value (RFV) or the total digestible nutrients (TDN), as applicable, determined by that resample shall be final and binding on the Insured and shall be used by the Corporation in determining any indemnity payable to the Insured in respect of that Production. The Insured shall pay all costs associated with the resampling process. 14.18 No Cleaning Costs. Except as otherwise specifically provided under this Contract, the Corporation shall not compensate or reimburse the Insured for the costs of cleaning Production under this Part or otherwise under this Contract. PART 15 REPORTING HARVESTED PRODUCTION 15.01 Filing Date. No later than November 30 in each Crop Year, the Insured shall provide the Corporation with a Harvested Production Report stating the Production of all crops grown on Declared Acreage. For any crop not Harvested, Destroyed or put to an Alternate Use as of November 30, the Insured must provide a revised Harvested Production Report by August 15 of the next Crop Year. 15.02 Failure to File. If an Insured in any Crop Year does not report on the Harvested Production Report for that Crop Year Production of any crops grown on Declared Acreage, the Corporation may declare the IPI Yield, or the yield for other Probable Yield calculations, to be equal to Coverage for such crop. If the Insured fails to report Production of an Insurable Crop that is not insured, the Corporation may declare the IPI Yield, or the yield for other Probable Yield calculations, to be equal to Coverage at the lowest Coverage Level applicable to that crop. 15.03 Late Filing Fee. Harvested Production Reports not filed by November 30 in any Crop Year may, in the discretion of the Corporation, be assessed a late filing fee of $500. 15.04 Corrections or Revisions. The Insured may make corrections or revisions to the Harvested Production Reports for a Crop Year up to August 15 of the next Crop Year by providing such supporting documentation as is satisfactory to the Corporation, but the receipt of any such corrections or revisions shall not prejudice any rights of the Corporation under this Contract. 15.05 Failure to Report Net Sales. If an Insured in any Crop Year does not provide the net sales information in respect of any Insured Crop in circumstances in which that information is required by the Corporation, then the Insured may elect to have either paragraph (i) or (ii) apply for the purposes of calculating IPI Yield or the yield for other Probable Yield calculations: (i) where an Insured has not cleaned or sold any of the Production by August 15 of the following Crop Year, the Corporation will measure the Production and obtain and grade a sample at the Insured's expense, with the results being applied for that Crop Year, or (ii) where an Insured has sold only a portion of the Production, which the Corporation determines is representative of the entire Production, the dockage and bushel weight of the sold Production will be applied to the remaining Production, and if the Insured has not elected to have either paragraph (i) or (ii) apply, or the Insured has elected to have paragraph (ii) apply, but the Corporation determines that the sold Production is not representative of the entire Production, then the Corporation may declare the IPI Yield, or the yield for other Probable Yield calculations, to be equal to Coverage for the affected crop. 15.06 IPI Minimum Acreage. Total Declared Acreage of less than 25 acres of an Insurable Crop in a Crop Year will not be taken into account in the calculation of the Individual Productivity Index for that Insurable Crop. PART 16 EXCESS MOISTURE INSURANCE SUPPLEMENTARY TERMS AND CONDITIONS 16.01 Purpose and Selection.

AgriInsurance Regulation — segment 5
This part sets insurance conditions, deadlines, claim rules, and appeal steps for several crop insurance programs.
For greater certainty, the Corporation may refuse to make an EMI Indemnity payment on any Excess Moisture Insurance claim if the Corporation is of the opinion that the EMI Insured Acreage was seeded (whether to an Insurable Crop or not) on or before June 20 in a Crop Year or that the primary cause of the failure to seed any of the EMI Insured Acreage on or before June 20 in any Crop Year is a direct or indirect result of farm management decisions made by the Insured in that Crop Year rather than excessive rainfall, flood or excessive moisture. In each case, the Premium shall be deemed to have been earned by the Corporation and to be payable by the Insured. 16.04 Restriction — Addition of Acreage. Any Acreage added by an Insured to that Insured's EMI Insured Acreage on or after April 1 in any Crop Year is not eligible for an EMI Indemnity in that Crop Year, unless the Insured is able to establish to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such Acreage was legally purchased by the Insured on or before June 30 of that Crop Year and the Insured provides the Corporation with evidence of legal title to the affected Acreage on or before August 31 of that same Crop Year. The Insured shall be required to pay to the Corporation the corresponding Premium and Administration Fees on all such Acreage declared as purchased. 16.05 Minimum Claim Acres. An Insured is not eligible for an EMI Indemnity if the Insured's EMI Unseeded Acreage is less than 10 acres. If the Insured is a Tenant and has EMI Insured Acreage, a portion of which is farmed independently of the Landlord or Landlords, then the EMI Unseeded Acreage of that Tenant, for the purposes of this Section, shall be calculated separately for the Acreage farmed independently and for each Acreage subject to a Landlord/Tenant relationship. 16.06 EMI Reduced Deductible Option. If the Insured has selected the EMI Reduced Deductible Option, the EMI Deductible shall be 5%. 16.07 Calculation of the EMI Deductible Percentage. In each Crop Year in which the Insured has a Contract in effect, the Corporation shall calculate the EMI Deductible Percentage for each Insured as if the Insured has not selected the EMI Reduced Deductible Option. If, in any Crop Year, the: (i) EMI Unseeded Acreage exceeds the EMI Deductible and the Insured makes a claim for an EMI Indemnity, then the Corporation shall apply, in its calculation of the EMI Deductible Percentage in the immediately following Crop Year, an additional five percentage points to the EMI Deductible Percentage, or (ii) EMI Unseeded Acreage is equal to or less than the EMI Deductible or the Insured does not make a claim for an EMI Indemnity, then the Corporation shall apply, in its calculation of the EMI Deductible Percentage in the immediately following Crop Year, a deduction of five percentage points to the EMI Deductible Percentage. In no event shall the EMI Deductible Percentage be less than 5%. 16.08 EMI Reduced Deductible Option and Dollar Value Restrictions. If an Insured has an EMI Deductible Percentage in excess of 35% in any Crop Year, that Insured may not select the EMI Reduced Deductible Option or a higher Dollar Value for Excess Moisture Insurance, if offered by the Corporation, in that Crop Year. PART 17 CROP COVERAGE PLUS 17.01 Purpose. The provisions of this Part only apply to an Insured who has applied for and been accepted by the Corporation for CCP Insurance. Any indemnity payable in respect of CCP Insurance is calculated on the basis of Production Value Loss. 17.02 Eligibility and Acknowledgement. CCP Insurance cannot be selected by an Insured unless that Insured is eligible for the 80% Coverage Level and selects that Coverage Level for all CCP Crops. If an Insured has selected CCP Insurance and in any Crop Year a new Insurable Crop eligible for CCP Insurance is offered by the Corporation for insurance, the Insured shall be deemed to have automatically selected the 80% Coverage Level in respect of that new Insured Crop. 17.03 Coverage Level Determination and Restriction. For the purposes of determining the Coverage Level to be offered by the Corporation for CCP Crops, the Corporation shall calculate the Coverage Level percentage based, in part, on the Insured Acreage of each such CCP Crop (excluding any CCP Crop on Acreage Reseeded to another CCP Crop during Stage 1, in which case the subsequently seeded CCP Crop will be used). The Coverage Level for CCP Crops will be between 80% and 90%, but cannot be finally calculated until the Corporation determines the CCP Crops that have been grown by the Insured and the amount of Insured Acreage of each such CCP Crop. In no event can such Coverage Level exceed 90%. If the Insured has Production from Insured Acreage of one or more Landlords, then the CCP calculations will be specific to the CCP Crops grown with each Landlord and separate from the Insured's individual CCP calculation. 17.04 Premium Discount. If the Coverage Level determined in accordance with Section 17.03 would have been greater than 90%, the Corporation may provide a premium discount to the Insured for any Coverage that would have been in excess of that amount, such discount to be calculated by the Corporation in such manner as the Corporation may determine. 17.05 Coverage Level Not Greater Than 80%. If the Insured grows only one CCP Crop or the Coverage Level determined in accordance with Section 17.03 is not greater than 80%, then CCP Insurance is not available to the Insured, although any CCP Crop selected by the Insured is still eligible for insurance on an individual crop basis at the 80% Coverage Level. 17.06 Indemnity Payment. No indemnity shall be payable for CCP Insurance, if any, until the Production Value Loss has been calculated. The final indemnity payable, if any, to the Insured shall take into account any Stage 1 or Stage 2 indemnity payable. 17.07 Future Coverage. If an Insured is entitled to a Forage Restoration Indemnity under Part 20 or a Reseeding benefit under Part 11, the CCP Insurance that remains in force shall be reduced by the indemnity paid or payable in accordance with those Parts.

For greater certainty, the Corporation may refuse to pay a Harvest Flood Option Indemnity if the Corporation is of the opinion that the primary cause of the failure to Harvest any of the Acreage of Coarse Hay is a direct or indirect result of farm management decisions made by the Insured in that Crop Year rather than excessive moisture. In such a case, the Premium shall be deemed to have been earned by the Corporation and to be payable by the Insured. 24.04 Minimum Claim Acres. An Insured is not eligible for a Harvest Flood Option Indemnity unless the Insured's total Acreage of Coarse Hay unharvested due to excessive moisture is equal to or greater than 10 acres.

The provisions of this Part only apply to an Insured who has applied for and been accepted by the Corporation for insurance for the loss of Saskatoon Plants as a result of a Designated Peril. 27.02 Saskatoon Establishment Insurance Indemnity. If a Saskatoon Plant is lost as a result of one or more of the Designated Perils, the Corporation, subject to the other provisions of this Contract, shall pay to the Insured the Saskatoon Establishment Insurance Indemnity. 27.03 Eligibility. To be eligible for Saskatoon Establishment Insurance an Insured must have a minimum of 500 Saskatoon Plants that are eligible for insurance under Section 27.04. A Landlord is not eligible for Saskatoon Establishment Insurance. 27.04 Eligible Plants. Only Saskatoon Plants that are viable at the time the Insured selects Saskatoon Establishment Insurance or that are transplanted on or before June 20 of the Crop Year, in the case of spring plantings, and between August 15 and November 30 of the immediately preceding Crop Year, in the case of fall plantings, are eligible for Saskatoon Establishment Insurance and all such Saskatoon Plants must be insured. All Saskatoon Plants must be declared on the Seeded Acreage Report. 27.05 Three Year Restriction. If 51% or more of the Saskatoon Plants in any block (as determined by the Corporation) are less than three years old, then the Corporation may accept all of the Saskatoon Plants in that block for Saskatoon Establishment Insurance, however, if 51% or more of the Plants are over three years old, then the Corporation may regard all of the Plants in that block as older than three years old and Saskatoon Establishment Insurance is not available for that block. 27.06 Majority of Saskatoon Plants Damaged. If the Corporation is of the opinion that 51% or more of the Saskatoon Plants in any block (as determined by the Corporation) have been lost, the Corporation may consider the whole block of such Saskatoon Plants lost for the purposes of calculating any Saskatoon Establishment Insurance Indemnity otherwise payable. 27.07 Plant Destruction. Once the Corporation completes its assessment of the lost Saskatoon Plants, all such Saskatoon Plants must be Destroyed. 27.08 Fall Planting. In the case of Saskatoon Plants planted in the fall, a claim cannot be made before April 1 of the year following the year in which the Saskatoon Plant was planted. PART 28 CONTRACT PRICE OPTION 28.01 Purpose. The provisions of this Part only apply to an Insured who has qualified for the Contract Price Option pursuant to a CPO Approved Agreement. Any Indemnity payable in respect of CPO is calculated on the basis of Production Loss. 28.02 Submission Deadline. An agreement submitted for approval as a CPO Approved Agreement must be provided to the Corporation on or before June 30 of the applicable Crop Year. If not submitted by that date, the Insured is not eligible for the Contract Price Option in that Crop Year. 28.03 Types of CPO Approved Agreements. A CPO Approved Agreement may be a contract made for the total Production or any portion of Production of the affected Insured's CPO Crops. Deferred delivery contracts can also qualify as a CPO Approved Agreement, but the contracted delivery period must be on or after August 1 of the relevant Crop Year. 28.04 Total Production CPO Approved Agreement. If a CPO Approved Agreement is for the total Production of a CPO Crop of an Insured, then the contracted quantity per acre specified by the CPO Approved Agreement will be deemed to be the equivalent of that Insured's Production Guarantee for the affected Acreage. 28.05 Dollar Value and Quality Guarantee. If the base price to be paid for an Insured's Production of CPO Crops under a CPO Approved Agreement is to be established after the deadline contemplated by Section 28.02, the Dollar Value established by the Corporation for the affected CPO Crops in that Crop Year shall apply as the base price. For the foregoing purpose, the Dollar Value that applies is the Dollar Value established by the Corporation for the equivalent crop not insured under a CPO Approved Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in a CPO Approved Agreement, all adjustments to the quality of the affected CPO Crop will be completed in accordance with the provisions of this Contract. 28.06 Arm's Length Buyer. To be eligible for the Contract Price Option, the Insured and the buyer under a CPO Approved Agreement must be dealing with each other at arm's length (as that phrase is understood in the Income Tax Act (Canada)) and otherwise be independent of each other in every respect. 28.07 Landlord Bound. A Landlord is bound by any CPO Approved Agreement of the Tenant of that Landlord (which, for these purposes, includes any increased Dollar Values or Premiums associated therewith) and any portion of the Production of that Tenant may be subject to such CPO Approved Agreement, including Production from Acreage owned by the Landlord. PART 29 CLAIM APPEALS 29.01 Appeal Deadline. The Corporation may assess a loss at various times, depending on whether the claim for indemnity is made pursuant to Parts 10, 11 or 12 of this Contract. Whenever an assessment is performed, the Corporation shall notify the Insured of the results of that assessment. If the Insured and the Corporation cannot agree as to any matter addressed in the assessment which may, by virtue of the Act, be appealed to the Appeal Tribunal, the Insured must, within seven days of receipt of notice of the relevant assessment from the Corporation, appeal by written notice of appeal to the Appeal Tribunal, and shall deliver a copy of the appeal to the Corporation. If the Insured fails to so appeal within the prescribed seven day time period, the Corporation's assessment of the loss shall be final and binding upon the Insured and no appeal is available to the Appeal Tribunal. A Landlord cannot appeal in respect of matters addressed by the Contract of the Tenant. Any decision made by a Tenant from time to time in respect of an appeal under this Section shall also be binding on the Landlord of that Tenant. 29.02 Field Restrictions. If an Insured has appealed in accordance with Section 29.01, the Insured shall not Destroy or put the Acreage affected by the appeal to an Alternate Use without first obtaining the consent of the Appeal Tribunal. 29.03 Procedure. Should the Insured not accept a Stage 1 or Stage 2 UH indemnity and appeal to the Appeal Tribunal, such appeal shall not be heard until the Corporation has determined the final indemnity. 29.04 Final Decision. The decision of the Appeal Tribunal shall be final and binding on both the Insured and the Corporation and shall not be subject to appeal or review by a court. 29.05 Appeal Fee. At the time of filing an appeal, the Insured shall deposit with the Appeal Tribunal such fee as is required from time to time pursuant to the Act as security for the costs of the appeal. PART 30 CONTINUING CONTRACT — TERMINATION AND CHANGES BY THE INSURED 30.01 Cancellation Deadline. This Contract shall come into effect upon acceptance of the Application by the Corporation for the Crop Year for which the Application is made and shall automatically renew from Crop Year to Crop Year thereafter for all Insured Crops and all Additional Insurance Programs selected by the Insured (except for Excess Moisture Insurance, which is automatically provided by the Corporation under this Contract and is not selectable by an Insured) unless notice of termination in writing is given by the Insured on or before March 31 of the year prior to the applicable Crop Year. 30.02 Confirmation of Insurance. The Corporation shall post to its website via a private access portal maintained for the benefit of each Insured or mail to the Insured, at least 14 days before the relevant dates set forth in this Part, a confirmation of insurance which sets out, amongst other things, the Insured Crops and Dollar Value (if more than one Dollar Value is offered by the Corporation for any Insured Crop), any Additional Insurance Program and, subject to Section 17.03, the Coverage Levels which the Corporation will provide to the Insured for the period to which the confirmation of insurance relates based on the selections previously made by the Insured. If the Insured wishes to change the selection of Insured Crops, Coverage Levels, Dollar Value in respect of Insured Crops (if more than one Dollar Value is offered by the Corporation for any Insured Crop) and Excess Moisture Insurance (if a Dollar Value above the minimum is offered by the Corporation), EMI Reduced Deductible Option or any Additional Insurance Program previously selected (except for Excess Moisture Insurance, which is automatically provided by the Corporation under this Contract and is not selectable by an Insured), the Insured must do so by the dates set forth in this Part; otherwise the Insured shall be bound by the confirmation of insurance for the applicable period. Landlords are not entitled to receive a confirmation of insurance. 30.03 Notification of Coverage to Insured. If the Insured was not insured with the Corporation in the Crop Year immediately preceding the Crop Year for which an Application is being made or if the Insured has selected an Insurable Crop for insurance which was not insured in the Crop Year immediately preceding the Crop Year for which such selection is being made, the Corporation may determine Coverage by any means and with such information as may be available to the Corporation at the time of such determination and within such time frame as it may deem appropriate. For purposes of determining Coverage in accordance with the foregoing, the Insured shall be required to provide the Corporation with all historical production data that may be in the possession or control of the Insured and as may be requested by the Corporation from time to time. Any Coverage so determined shall be final and binding on the Insured. 30.04 Changes in Selection. All changes in selection of: Insured Crops, Dollar Values for Insured Crops (if more than one Dollar Value is offered by the Corporation for any Insured Crop), Coverage Levels, for CCP Insurance, for Additional Insurance Programs (other than Excess Moisture Insurance) and for the continuous hail insurance option if the Insured has a contract of insurance issued under the Hail Insurance Regulation under the Act must be made on or before March 31 in the year prior to the Crop Year in which the insurance is to apply. 30.05 Changes in Selection — EMI. All changes in selection of Dollar Value in respect of Excess Moisture Insurance (if a Dollar Value above the minimum is offered by the Corporation) and for the EMI Reduced Deductible Option must be made on or before November 30 in the year prior to the Crop Year in which the insurance is to apply. 30.06 Method for Making Changes in Selection. The changes in selection contemplated by Sections 30.04 and 30.05 may be made (i) in writing; (ii) via an online private access portal maintained for the benefit of each Insured by the Corporation at its website; or (iii) by telephone by an Insured, but an Insured's alternate signing authority, if any, may not make changes by telephone. If an Insured makes changes in selection by telephone, all information received by the Corporation and shown in the records of the Corporation shall be conclusive evidence of the information given over the telephone by the Insured to the Corporation and a copy of the changes in selection after acceptance by the Corporation will be mailed to the Insured. 30.07 Right to Amend Deadlines.

PART 31 PREMIUMS FOR INSURANCE AND ADMINISTRATION FEES 31.01 Premiums, Surcharges, Discounts and Administration Fees.

If the Premiums or Administration Fees or any other charges, costs and fees appearing on the Statement of Account setting forth the Premiums and Administration Fees are not paid by October 31 of the Crop Year for which they are due, interest shall be payable (both before and after judgement) on such amounts or any unpaid portion thereof from October 1 of such Crop Year until the last day of the month before the month in which payment is made, at a per annum rate equivalent to two percentage points greater than the Royal Bank Prime Rate as of April 1 of that Crop Year. 31.03 Claim Overpayment Interest. The Corporation may charge interest on any claim overpayment at the same rate as specified under Section 31.02 for the Crop Year in which the notice of claim overpayment or notice of such outstanding charges, fees, costs or expenses is given.

The Corporation shall not be obligated to pay interest on any amounts owed to the Insured in any circumstance. PART 32 MISREPRESENTATION 32.01 Misrepresentation — General. If the Insured, or if the Insured is a Landlord, the Tenant of that Insured, in the current Crop Year or in any prior Crop Year: (i) gives false particulars or misrepresents or fails to disclose any fact required to be stated in the Application or other documentation provided to the Corporation, (ii) contravenes a term or condition of this Contract, (iii) commits a fraud, or (iv) makes a false statement in respect of a claim under this Contract, (each of the matters referred to in paragraphs (i) to (iv) of this Section being hereinafter referred to as a "Default"), the Corporation may, at its option, deny or cancel any claim of the Insured where, in the Corporation's opinion a Default has occurred, whether the claim has been finalized or not, and/or terminate this Contract by giving notice to the Insured. If the Corporation terminates this Contract, such termination shall be effected by written notice to the Insured and will be effective the Crop Year following the Crop Year in which notice was given. All Premiums and Administration Fees and all other charges, costs, fees and expenses due to the Corporation by the Insured shall be deemed to have been earned by the Corporation and non-refundable to the Insured. Upon a denial or cancellation of a claim in accordance with this Section, the Insured's right to any indemnity in respect of that claim shall be forfeited. If a claim is cancelled by the Corporation, the Insured shall immediately repay to the Corporation any indemnity paid by the Corporation in respect of that claim. If the Corporation terminates the Contract in accordance with this Section for one or more of the reasons specified in items (i), (iii) or (iv) set forth above, or if the Insured terminates this Contract for any reason, this Section shall survive any such termination and the Insured shall be required to cooperate fully with the Corporation in any investigation commenced by the Corporation in connection therewith. Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, the production of all such documents and records that are in the possession of the Insured and which are contemplated by Section 35.02. 32.02 Production Misstatement. If an Insured misstates Production, the Corporation will adjust Production or other Probable Yield calculations to Adjusted Production. The Corporation may also make a further downward adjustment in such Insured's Individual Productivity Indexes or other Probable Yield calculations and may require the Insured to pay a monetary amount including, without limitation, any amount necessary to compensate the Corporation for auditing or otherwise monitoring the Insured's prior or future years' Production, all as determined by the Corporation. PART 33 SUBROGATION 33.01 Recovery Right. The Insured shall not be entitled to any indemnity under this Contract for any loss if the Insured has done or does anything to prejudice the Insured's right of recovery against any Person in respect of such loss. 33.02 Subrogation. If the Corporation has paid a claim under this Contract, the Corporation is subrogated to the extent thereof to all rights of recovery of the Insured against any Person, and may bring action in the name of the Insured against such Person for the full amount to enforce such rights of recovery. The Insured agrees that the Corporation shall have complete and sole control over the conduct of any such action commenced by the Corporation, including the appointment of counsel. At the request of the Corporation, the Insured shall do whatever is necessary to secure such rights of recovery. 33.03 Third Party Compensation. Where the Corporation is liable to pay a claim under this Contract, but the Insured has been compensated for the loss by another Person, the Corporation may deduct the net amount of such third party compensation, after deducting the costs of recovering such compensation, from the amount of the indemnity otherwise payable by the Corporation under this Contract. 33.04 Limitation. Where the net amount recovered from a third party, after deducting the costs of recovery, is not sufficient to provide a complete indemnity for the loss or damages suffered by the Insured, the amount recovered from the third party shall first be retained by the Corporation up to the amount of the indemnity paid and the balance shall be paid to the Insured. 33.05 Insured's Obligation. If the Corporation exercises the rights granted to it pursuant to Section 33.02, the Insured shall: (i) assist the Corporation, except in a pecuniary way, in the enforcement of such rights including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, cooperation in establishing the facts, securing and giving evidence and obtaining the attendance of witnesses and, if an action is commenced, immediately providing to the Corporation everything received in writing concerning the claim, including legal documents, and (ii) do nothing to prejudice the Corporation's rights including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, not interfering in any settlement or legal proceedings. PART 34 ASSIGNMENT OF INDEMNITY 34.01 Right to Indemnity Payment. Subject to Section 34.02, no indemnity shall be paid to any Person other than the Insured. 34.02 Assignment. The Insured may assign all or a specified dollar amount of the right to indemnification under this Contract in respect of any Crop Year, and only for that Crop Year, but an assignment is not binding on the Corporation, and no payment of indemnity shall be made to an assignee, unless: (i) the assignment is made on a form acceptable to the Corporation and is accompanied by the fee stipulated by such form, and (ii) the Corporation gives its acceptance to the assignment in writing. Any assignment made in accordance with the foregoing has the effect of assigning all rights of indemnification of the Insured under all contracts of insurance between the Insured and the Corporation (excluding any contract of insurance between the Insured and the Corporation under the Livestock Price Insurance Program), although in the case of an assignment of a specified dollar amount, only up to the dollar amount specified. 34.03 Rights of Assignee. An assignee shall have the same right as the Insured to file a claim for loss or damage to the Insured Crop or under an Additional Insurance Program. 34.04 Subsequent Assignments. If more than one assignment is received by the Corporation, the assignment first received and accepted by the Corporation shall have priority over subsequent assignments received. In any such case, once any prior assignment has been satisfied, the Insured expressly authorizes the Corporation to pay any and all subsequent assignment(s) to the full extent of such assignment(s) assuming the indemnity payments otherwise payable to the Insured are available to satisfy such assignment(s). PART 35 RECORDS, ACCESS AND RELEASE OF INFORMATION 35.01 Right of Entry and No Liability. The Insured agrees that the Corporation has a right of entry to the land, property and premises (including, without limitation, crop storage facilities) of the Insured, which right may be exercised by the Corporation or its agents or employees at any reasonable time or times for any purpose related to this Contract. Such right of entry may include, and the Insured expressly consents to, the use by the Corporation of one or more drones (unmanned aircraft vehicles) as well as satellite data and imagery. The Insured shall keep or cause to be kept such records as the Corporation may prescribe from time to time for any Insurable Crop or Additional Insurance Program. The Corporation may require the Insured to produce or make available such records as the Corporation considers pertinent to any matter contemplated by this Contract. In the event that the Corporation exercises its rights in accordance with this Part, the Corporation shall not be responsible for any loss or damage caused by it or any of its agents, servants or employees to the Insured's land, property or premises, unless such loss or damage is the result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Corporation or its agents, servants or employees. 35.02 Access to Records. The Insured agrees that the Corporation and any Person designated by the Corporation shall have access to the records kept by the Insured and to the land on which the Insurable Crops are grown or stored or, to which an Additional Insurance Program relates, for the purpose of determining matters concerning this Contract. 35.03 Time to Provide Records. The Insured shall provide records requested by the Corporation pursuant to Sections 35.01 and 35.02 within 15 days of the Corporation's request. 35.04 Right to Audit. The Insured shall keep all books and records relating to the subject matter of this Contract until the expiration of seven years from the end of the Crop Year to which such books and records relate. At any time during the currency of this Contract and within seven years after the termination of this Contract, the Insured shall permit the Corporation to audit the Insured's books and records as far as they relate to the subject matter of this Contract. The Corporation assumes no responsibility and waives no rights by reason of such examination, audit or omission thereof. The Insured specifically consents to court proceedings commenced by the Corporation to compel production of any books and records as contemplated by this Section and Section 35.02 and agrees that the Corporation is entitled to such remedy and related relief thereto, including the reasonable legal expenses incurred by the Corporation. Such consent and agreement survive any termination of this Contract. 35.05 Access to Third Party Records. The Corporation may, at any time, request any Person to provide the Corporation with records pertinent to this Contract for any Crop Year, and the Insured by entering into this Contract shall be deemed to have authorized and consented to the release of that information to the Corporation. If any Person refuses to provide such information to the Corporation, the Insured shall make best efforts to obtain the information and provide it to the Corporation. Any costs associated with obtaining the information shall be the responsibility of the Insured. 35.06 Consequences of Non-Cooperation. If the Insured fails to permit the Corporation access to any lands and premises (including, without limitation, crop storage facilities) or to provide information and records required by this Part or as required in respect of any claim for indemnity hereunder (whether outstanding or already completed and paid by the Corporation) in a timely manner, as determined by the Corporation, the Corporation may refuse to pay any indemnity hereunder or, if the claim for indemnity has already been paid by the Corporation, the Corporation may seek repayment of such indemnity from the Insured, in whole or in part. Further, if such failure to cooperate affects the ability of the Corporation to calculate or audit IPI Yields or the yield for other Probable Yield calculations, the Corporation may declare Production for IPI purposes to be equal to Coverage, if the calculation or audit is in respect of an Insured Crop, and Coverage at the lowest Coverage Level applicable to the affected crop, if the calculation or audit is in respect of an Insurable Crop that is not insured. 35.07 Collection of Information. Information collected under this Contract is done so under the authority of the Act and will be used to administer the Contract and for research purposes and may be released by the Corporation in accordance with Sections 35.08 and 35.09 or as otherwise permitted by law. Any questions regarding such collection should be directed to the Insured's local MASC insurance agent. 35.08 Release of Information. The Corporation may provide the Government of Canada, the Government of Manitoba and their respective crown agencies, as well as the Advance Payment Program administrators, with any information and data in the Corporation's possession pertaining to the Insured on a confidential basis. 35.09 Release of Aggregate Information. The Corporation may release information and data pertaining to the Insured to any Person when such information and data is combined with other information and data to form a larger data base from which the Insured is not identifiable. 35.10 Authorization and Consent. The Insured authorizes and consents to the release of information and data under Sections 35.08 and 35.09 by the Corporation and waives the protection of any applicable law that would preclude the Corporation from releasing such information and data. PART 36 PRODUCTION INSURANCE FUND AND PRODUCTION INSURANCE TRUST FUND 36.01 Production Insurance Fund.

The Corporation, in its capacity as Trustee of the Production Insurance Trust Fund and in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, agrees not to pay or distribute any income or capital of that fund except: (i) to pay indemnities, premiums or other amounts referred to in paragraphs 36.01(i) and (ii); (ii) to pay or transfer to the Corporation income earned in the Production Insurance Trust Fund, other than income earned on contributions to the Production Insurance Trust Fund; and (iii) to pay the balance of the Production Insurance Trust Fund (other than any undistributed income referred to in clause (ii)) to Manitoba 4-H Endowment Foundation Inc. (or any other beneficiary to whom the balance is payable under the Trust Agreement), if the Corporation's production insurance program is terminated and not replaced within one year by another program that, in the opinion of the minister responsible for the administration of the Act, is designed as a replacement for the production insurance program. 36.03 Survival on Termination.

PART 37 GENERAL 37.01 Right to Amend Contract. The Corporation shall have the right to change the terms and conditions of this Contract from year to year, other than the provisions of Part 36, without the consent of the Insured and such changes are deemed to be part of this Contract. Notification of any changes to this Contract will be mailed to the Insured on or before March 15 of the Crop Year immediately preceding the Crop Year in which the changes are to be in effect. 37.02 Termination Without Cause. The Corporation has the right to terminate this Contract without cause effective at the end of any Crop Year by mailing written notice of such termination to the Insured on or before March 1 of that Crop Year. Upon termination, all rights, obligations and liabilities acquired or incurred under this Contract shall be of no further force or effect with respect to any subsequent Crop Year but without prejudicing any rights, obligations or liabilities acquired or incurred under this Contract with respect to the Crop Year in which notice of termination is given or prior Crop Years. 37.03 Termination — General. In addition to any other termination provisions of this Contract in favour of the Corporation, the Corporation may terminate this Contract effective upon written notice to the Insured for any of the following reasons: (i) the failure of the Insured to provide information, records or access to land or premises (including, without limitation, crop storage facilities) as and when required under Part 35 of this Contract, (ii) the Insured is not farming any land as declared on the Seeded Acreage Report in respect of the Crop Year then in effect, (iii) improper farming practices of the Insured as determined by the Corporation, (iv) failure by the Insured to fully cooperate with the Corporation in order to establish the indemnity payable, if any, under this Contract, (v) physical violence, physical intimidation or verbal abuse, or threats of any such nature, directed by the Insured at any of the employees or agents of the Corporation, (vi) failure by the Insured to comply with this Contract, the Act or the Regulations, (vii) failure by the Insured to pay when due, amounts owed by the Insured to the Corporation whether such amounts were due before or after the commencement of this Contract and whether or not such amounts are due under this Contract or under any other program administered by the Corporation from time to time. 37.04 Termination — Non-Payment of Premiums. If the Insured has not paid the Premium and Administration Fees or interest thereon owing to the Corporation on or before March 31 in the Crop Year for which the Premium and Administration Fees are due, this Contract shall be terminated effective that date unless the Corporation has agreed in writing to waive the provisions of this Section 37.04. 37.05 Termination — Outstanding Claims. If the Corporation has agreed to the continuation of this Contract pursuant to Section 37.04 for a Crop Year and on June 30 following such agreement the Premium and Administration Fees for the prior Crop Year or interest thereon remain unpaid, this Contract shall be deemed to have terminated effective the beginning of the then current Crop Year, unless the Corporation has agreed in writing to waive the provisions of this Section 37.05. 37.06 Termination — All Acreage. If a Person has a significant interest in this Contract, as determined by the Corporation, whether individually, through a corporation, a partnership or other entity, as the case may be, and also has a significant interest in any other Contract or Contracts and any such Contract in which that Person has such an interest is cancelled or otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms of that Contract, the Insured shall then be deemed to be in breach of Section 4.01 of this Contract and, as a result, the Corporation may also terminate this Contract. In that event, this Contract shall be terminated effective as at the time indicated in the written notice to that effect to the Insured. 37.07 Credit Privileges. An Insured whose insurance was cancelled previously by the Corporation may be declared by the Corporation to be an unsatisfactory credit risk for the Corporation and, if this is done, the Corporation may, at its option, require the Insured to submit an annual Application accompanied by the estimated Premium and Administration Fees prior to the relevant dates set forth in Part 30. The provisions of Part 30 will not apply to an Insured who is required to make an annual Application under this Section for so long as that requirement is in effect. 37.08 No Liability of Corporation.

Notwithstanding the termination of this Contract for any reason whatsoever, all covenants and agreements to be performed or observed by the Insured under this Contract, all provisions contained in this Part and any right of indemnity arising from any loss which occurred prior to the termination of this Contract and which has been established to the Corporation's satisfaction shall survive any said termination, except as otherwise provided in this Contract. 37.10 Payments Applied to Debt.

In each case, that waiver or alteration shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it is given or made. Notwithstanding any such waiver, any circumstances related to such waiver may be considered by the Corporation at any subsequent time together with any subsequent events in determining the Corporation's rights under this Contract. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, notice to any agent or employee of the Corporation or knowledge possessed by any agent or employee of the Corporation shall not effect a waiver or estop the Corporation from asserting any right under the terms of this Contract. 37.13 No Subsequent Waiver. The full or partial waiver by the Corporation at any time of any of its rights under this Contract, including its rights with respect to a breach or violation of or default under any provision of this Contract, will not operate as a waiver of any other right or of any other provision of this Contract or of any subsequent breach or violation thereof or default thereunder. 37.14 No Waiver. The Corporation shall not be deemed to have waived any term or condition of this Contract or any of its rights pursuant to this Contract by the receipt of any forms or any information from the Insured or by any act relating to the appraisal of the amount of loss or by the delivery and completion of claim forms or the investigation or adjustment of any claim under this Contract. 37.15 No Deemed Waiver. The acceptance by the Corporation of any amount payable by, on behalf of or for the account of the Insured at any time after termination of this Contract shall not be deemed to be a waiver by the Corporation of any rights and remedies to which it may be entitled. 37.16 Eligibility Review. The Insured agrees that at any time during the currency of this Contract, the Corporation may conduct an eligibility review to determine whether the Insured continues to be eligible for an AgriInsurance Contract. The Insured consents to such review, agrees to fully cooperate in the eligibility review process, and to be bound by the decision of the Corporation resulting from such review. If the Corporation conducts an eligibility review during the currency of this Contract and changes the basis upon which the Insured is insured under this Contract, such change shall take effect at the commencement of the Crop Year immediately following the Crop Year in which the Insured was notified of such change. Upon receipt or deemed receipt of the Corporation's decision following such eligibility review, the Insured may upon written notice to that effect to the Corporation terminate this Contract effective April 1 of the year immediately following the year in which such notice is given. 37.17 Personal Guarantee of Corporate Debt.

The Premium for that Acreage will not be adjusted. 15. Seeded Acreage Report — Broccoli, Cauliflower and Cabbage. If the Insured has selected and Planted broccoli, cauliflower or cabbage as an Eligible Vegetable Crop, the Insured shall file an additional Seeded Acreage Report for all Acreage of such crop(s) on or before July 31 of the Crop Year in which the crop was Planted.

Subject to these Supplementary Terms and Conditions and the Contract, Small Farm Acreage Loss Insurance is effective from the date of Planting until, in the same Crop Year, the earlier of: (i) the day when, in the opinion of the Corporation, the Harvesting of the crop should have been completed, or in the case of Small Farm Eligible Crops that require multiple Harvests on the same Acreage, the time at which the first Harvest on that Acreage is completed; and (ii) November 30. 12. Irrigation Requirement. For Small Farm Eligible Crops to qualify for Small Farm Acreage Loss Insurance, the Acreage of Small Farm Eligible Crops must be irrigated in a manner satisfactory to the Corporation as evidenced by the requirements on file with any service centre of the Corporation. If any such Acreage is not so irrigated, that Acreage is not eligible for insurance under these Supplementary Terms and Conditions and no Premium is payable by the Insured in respect of that Acreage. 13. Single Form of Coverage for Small Farm Eligible Crops. Subject to Section 7, if a Small Farm Producer selects Small Farm Acreage Loss Insurance and one or more Small Farm Eligible Crops is insured by that Producer under AgriInsurance, the affected Small Farm Eligible Crop or Crops will only be insured under Small Farm Acreage Loss Insurance. 14. Minimum Acres. A minimum of one half-acre of Small Farm Eligible Crops must be Planted in order for that acreage to be insured under Small Farm Acreage Loss Insurance. If one of the Small Farm Eligible Crops is a VAL Only Crop and that crop on its own comprises more than one-half acre of the Small Farm Eligible Crops Planted, that VAL Only Crop must be insured under Vegetable Acreage Loss Insurance unless the Acreage of that crop, subject to Section 15, is required to meet the minimum acres otherwise required under this Section. 15. Below Minimum Acreage Threshold. If the Small Farm Eligible Crops that have been Planted by the Insured are less than one half-acre and the Insured has one or more VAL Only Crops insured under Vegetable Acreage Loss Insurance, the Acreage of the VAL Only Crop with the least amount of Acreage shall be used to achieve the one half-acre minimum. If one VAL Only Crop is not sufficient on its own to achieve such minimum, then the next available VAL Only Crop shall be used (and so on) until the minimum threshold is met. 16. Planting Deadlines. Small Farm Acreage Loss Insurance is not available for any Acreage of Small Farm Eligible Crops Planted after the following dates: Eligible Crop Direct Seeding Deadline Extended Coverage Direct Seeding Deadline for Reduced Coverage Transplant Deadline Cauliflower May 25 May 26 through to and including May 30 July 15 Cooking Onions, Other Onions and Parsnips June 6 June 7 through to and including June 11 not applicable Cabbage June 6 June 7 through to and including June 11 July 15 Carrots June 15 June 16 through to and including June 20 not applicable Sweet Corn June 10 June 11 through to and including June 15 not applicable Rutabagas June 20 not applicable not applicable Broccoli June 30 not applicable July 15 Peppers not applicable not applicable June 10 Leeks not applicable not applicable June 15 Pumpkins and Winter Squash June 6 June 7 through to and including June 11 June 20 Beets June 25 not applicable July 20 Potatoes June 15 June 16 through to and including June 20 not applicable Lettuce July 10 not applicable July 30 Garlic October 25 not applicable not applicable 17. Extended Coverage Direct Seeding Period. No insurance will be provided under these Supplementary Terms and Conditions if an Small Farm Eligible Crop is Planted after the applicable deadline(s) for that crop as set forth in Section 16. For Acreage of a Small Farm Eligible Crop seeded during the Extended Coverage Direct Seeding Period for that Small Farm Eligible Crop as set forth in Section 16, the Small Farm Acreage Loss Coverage for that Small Farm Eligible Crop on such Acreage will be reduced by 20%. The Premium for that Acreage will not be adjusted. 18. Seeded Acreage Report — Broccoli, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Beets and Lettuce. If the Insured has Planted broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, beets or lettuce as a Small Farm Eligible Crop, the Insured shall file an additional Seeded Acreage Report for all Acreage of such crop(s) on or before July 31 of the Crop Year in which the crop was Planted. Such additional Seeded Acreage Report supplements and amends the Seeded Acreage Report required to be filed under Part 7 of the Contract. 19. Notice of Loss. If a Small Farm Eligible Crop has been lost or damaged as a result of one or more of the Designated Perils for that crop, the Insured must notify the Corporation within three days of such loss or damage occurring, but in any case, before the affected Small Farm Eligible Crop is Destroyed or Reseeded. 20. Early Loss Indemnity. If loss or damage has occurred to a Small Farm Eligible Crop before the Extended Coverage Direct Seeding Period deadline for that Small Farm Eligible Crop as set forth in Section 16, as a result of one or more of the Designated Perils, the Insured is eligible for an Early Loss Indemnity on all Acreage of the affected Small Farm Eligible Crop that, with the prior written consent of the Corporation, is Destroyed, provided the affected Acreage is in contiguous blocks of one half-acre or more if the acreage of the Small Farm Crop is at or greater than five acres, or if the Small Farm Eligible Crop is less than five acres then the affected Acreage must be a minimum of one-tenth of an acre. If the affected Acreage is subsequently Planted to the same Small Farm Eligible Crop as was lost or damaged, the insurance that remains in force for that Acreage shall be reduced by the amount of the Early Loss Indemnity payable in accordance with this Section. If the affected Acreage is subsequently Planted to a different Small Farm Eligible Crop, the Insured must pay the full Premium on the new Small Farm Eligible Crop as well as the Premium on the damaged crop and the new Small Farm Eligible Crop is insured under the provisions of these Supplementary Terms and Conditions. An Early Loss Indemnity is calculated in accordance with the following formula: Destroyed Acres x Small Farm Acreage Loss Coverage x 25% 21. Small Farm Acreage Loss Indemnity. An indemnity for loss or damage to Small Farm Eligible Crops is calculated in accordance with the following formula: (Destroyed Acres − Deductible) x Small Farm Acreage Loss Coverage where the Destroyed Acres must be a minimum of one-tenth of an acre and Deductible means 10% of the total Insured Acreage of the affected Small Farm Eligible Crop. 22. Payment of Small Farm Acreage Loss Indemnity. A Small Farm Acreage Loss Indemnity is only payable to an Insured if, following the assessment by the Corporation of the loss or damage to the Small Farm Eligible Crop and provided the Corporation has given the Insured written permission, the Acreage of the affected Small Farm Eligible Crop is Destroyed by tillage or such other means acceptable to the Corporation and all such Acreage is in contiguous blocks of one-tenth of an acre or more. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Insured may Harvest such percentage of the Production from the affected Acreage as the Corporation may determine in accordance with tables maintained by, and on file with, the Corporation. Where the Small Farm Eligible Crop on the affected Acreage has been Destroyed or such Acreage has been put to another use, without the prior written consent of the Corporation, the Insured will not be entitled to any indemnity. 23. Capitalized Terms and Interpretation. All capitalized terms which are not otherwise defined have the same meaning in these Supplementary Terms and Conditions as in the Contract. SCHEDULE B (Section 18) PROBABLE YIELD DETERMINATION Introduction 1(1) This Schedule sets out the methodology used by the corporation for the calculation of probable yield. 1(2) Probable yield methodologies are designed to reflect the expected yield for the year of insurance. Probable yields are determined through statistical procedures based on yields used by the corporation. 1(3) The probable yields established for all programs must meet the actuarial requirements established by the federal government in regulations under the Farm Income Protection Act (Canada). In Manitoba's case, any bias created by the guaranteed grade being different than the average grade over time has been accounted for in implementing the actuarial requirements. 1(4) Specific applications of the following information on a crop by crop basis are set out in the Table to this Schedule. Data sources 2 Sources of data used by the corporation to determine probable yield include (a) yields reported by a person through a research questionnaire or a harvested production report or both; (b) yields measured or assigned by the corporation (claims, audits, measurement for individual coverage, etc.); (c) yields provided by a person and verified by the corporation; (d) yields provided by a purchaser or contracting company who has purchased the crop from the person in respect of which the probable yield is being determined; (e) provincial average yields determined by Manitoba Agriculture or Statistics Canada, or both; and (f) yields for crops with similar agronomic characteristics to the crop for which the probable yield is being determined, provided such proxy crop has adequate available data. Yield determination 3(1) Annual yields used to establish probable yields are based on net total production. Generally, net total production means the quotient obtained when the total production of a crop (adjusted for dockage, moisture and test weight) is divided by the total number of acres seeded of that crop. 3(2) For greenfeed and silage corn, the corporation makes an adjustment for quality in the calculation of probable yield. 3(3) The corporation may make an adjustment to production due to non-standard sizes or quality in the calculation of marketable production. The corporation determines what is considered non-standard size or non-standard quality. The adjustment for non-standard production is calculated in accordance with the following formula: A = B × C In this formula, A is the total marketable production of a particular non-standard size or quality; B is the net total production of that size or quality; C is the factor that results from dividing the market price for the non-standard production by the average market price for the standard production for the particular crop year, but the maximum allowable factor is 1.0. 3(4) The adjustment for production of non-standard table potatoes and processing potatoes is calculated separately. 3(5) An insured person's dryland processing potato probable yield is capped by and cannot exceed the insured person's irrigated processing potato probable yield. 3(6) If a non-pedigreed seed crop has a corresponding pedigreed seed crop and, in the case of potatoes, its corresponding seed crop, both shall be considered as one crop for the purpose of probable yield and individual productivity index calculations. Lag period 4 The lag period is the number of years between the year of insurance and the last year of data used in the calculation of probable yield. For example, if 2025 is the year of insurance and 2023 is the last year of data used in the calculation, the lag period is two years. All probable yield calculations have a lag period of two years. Base period 5 The base period is the number of consecutive years of data used to calculate probable yield. All programs have a base period of 10 years. Data adjustments 6 The data adjustments used by the corporation to determine probable yield are as follows: (a) a crop with insufficient data to determine a representative probable yield is adjusted from a crop having similar agronomic characteristics and which has adequate data, based on the relative yields of the two crops over time; (b) probable yield for one geographic area is adjusted from another geographic area based on relative yields in the two areas over time; (c) when an area has insufficient data, the yield for a larger geographic area, as determined by the corporation, is substituted; (d) yield is measured on an individual person basis with possible adjustments on account of quality; (e) adjustments are made as required to meet the actuarial requirements set out in the regulations made under the Farm Income Protection Act (Canada); (f) when no acceptable historical probable yield data is available for an area, an actuarially approved estimate of probable yield is used, as determined by the corporation. Calculation method 7(1) The calculation method used to determine soil zone or forage region probable yield is an arithmetic (simple) average of base period annual weighted average yields after adjustment as required. 7(2) Despite subsection (1), the result of a probable yield calculation for the purpose of section 13 of this Schedule may not vary upwards or downwards by more than 5% from the previous year's calculated probable yield, unless a change in the methodology for determining probable yield is required because of an actuarial requirement or consideration. 7(3) Subsection (2) does not apply in the circumstances described in subsection 9(3). Insurance area 8(1) The following insurance areas are used in the determination of probable yield: (a) areas of similar production risk, defined as risk areas 1 through 16 (excluding 13, as there is no risk area 13); (b) restricted areas of the province based on agronomic criteria; (c) all-province; (d) areas outside of the restricted areas referred to in clause (b) that are established for test purposes, as determined by the corporation; (e) forage regions 1 to 6, as determined by the corporation. 8(2) For grain corn, the corporation assigns a dominant grain corn area for the purposes of determining an insured person's probable yield. The dominant grain corn area is the area in which the corporation determines the majority of the person's total land base (whether insured under AgriInsurance or not and whether seeded to grain corn or not) is located at the time the person first insures grain corn. 8(3) For soybeans, the corporation assigns a dominant soybean area for the purposes of determining an insured person's probable yield. The dominant soybean area is the area in which the corporation determines the majority of the person's total land base (whether insured under AgriInsurance or not and whether seeded to soybeans or not) was located (a) if the insured person had land within the insurance test area in 2017, in 2018; (b) if clause (a) does not apply and the insured person did not insure soybeans in 2009, in the first year that the person insured soybeans after 2009; and (c) in all other cases, in 2009. 8(4) For hay crops, the corporation assigns a forage region for the purposes of determining an insured person's probable yield. The forage region is assigned as follows: (a) if the insured person had forage acres in the period from 2005 to 2014, the assigned forage region is the forage region in which the insured person had the most forage acres in that period; (b) if the insured person did not have forage acres in the period from 2005 to 2014, the assigned forage region is the forage region in which the majority of the person's insured land base is located in the year of application for insurance. Probable yield assignment by soil zone 9(1) All insurable land in the province is assigned a soil productivity rating from A to J by the corporation. Generally, soil productivity rating combined with risk area determines soil zone. The exception is that in risk area 12, soil productivity ratings C to H include an additional soil zone designation of 32. 9(2) Except for individual probable yield crops, the calculated probable yield for an insurance area is distributed across all soil zones occurring in the insurance area. An average yield ratio is calculated for each soil zone by dividing the average yield for the soil zone by the average yield for the insurance area for the corresponding years over the base period. The product of the average yield ratio for each soil zone multiplied by the calculated probable yield for the insurance area is used by the corporation as a guide in assigning probable yield by soil zone. The objective of the assignment of probable yields is for the weighted average probable yield by soil zone to equal the calculated probable yield for the insurance area. In the above calculation, the assigned probable yield by soil zone is weighted by its respective percentage of reported acres. 9(3) The 5% upwards or downwards limit in change in probable yield from one year to the next, referred to in subsection 7(2) of this Schedule, does not apply to any crop for which there is insufficient data to determine probable yield for all applicable soil zones. For such crops, the corporation will, in its discretion, make data adjustments, as set out in the Table to this Schedule. Probable yield for hay crops 10(1) In the case of crops insured under select or basic hay insurance, probable yields are established by forage region for each hay type over the base period. The probable yields for hay crops are not differentiated by soil type. 10(2) If there is no yield for a hay type in a given year or the corporation determines that the yield for a hay type is not statistically reliable in a given year, but there is a second hay type in the same forage region that is statistically reliable, that information combined with the average yield ratio between the respective hay types for a larger geographic region that includes the forage region is used to establish the yield for the hay type that is not statistically reliable. 10(3) In the case of coarse hay, the calculation method used to determine the probable yield is an arithmetic average over the base period of annual yields, after adjustment as required. The probable yield for coarse hay has no quality adjustments. 10(4) Annual yield for a hay type in a forage region is the quotient obtained when the total annual production of the hay type in the forage region, as determined by the corporation, is divided by the total harvested acres of the hay type in the forage region as determined by the corporation for the same year. 10(5) The data adjustments used by the corporation to determine the forage region probable yield are as follows: (a) if the corporation determines that the yield for hay is at a moisture content of greater than 15%, the gross yield for the hay is factored downward to the equivalent yield at 15% moisture content; (b) fields with reported yields less than 10% of the insured person's probable yield or greater than 250% of the insured person's probable yield are removed from the data unless verified by the corporation. Yield Trending 11 Starting with the 2020 crop year, a partial yield trending factor will be applied to increase the soil zone probable yields or individual probable yields, as applicable, of eight insurable crops (red spring wheat, canola, soybeans, grain corn, oats, white pea beans, hemp grain, and irrigated potatoes), all as determined by the Corporation in compliance with actuarial requirements established by the federal government. A partial yield trending factor of 75% of the calculated factor will be applied to the soil zone probable yields or individual probable yields for hemp grain, 50% of the calculated factor will be applied to the soil zone probable yields or individual probable yields for red spring wheat and Argentine canola, and 25% of the calculated factor will be applied to the soil zone probable yields or individual probable yields for soybeans, grain corn, oats, white pea beans and irrigated potatoes. Quality Loss Adjustment 12 Starting with the 2024 crop year, an aggregate adjustment will be applied to the probable yield calculation for those crops insured with a No.1 grade guarantee (barley, flax, fall rye, mustard, oil sunflower, prairie spring wheat, other spring wheat, rapeseed, and dry edible beans), where an aggregate adjustment factor is applied to reflect historical quality losses in the probable yields. Individual productivity indexing 13(1) For all crops for which an individual productivity index ("IPI") adjustment is indicated as being made in the Table to this Schedule, an insured person's probable yield is adjusted from the soil zone probable yield based on individual productivity indexing. The IPI system for annual field crops is explained in this section. 13(2) Except as provided in subsection (5), IPI is crop specific. IPI is calculated based on production data for the 10 most recent years, with a two-year lag period (i.e. data from 2014 to 2023 is used to calculate IPI for 2025). 13(3) Each annual productivity index is calculated as a ratio of the insured person's yield compared to the average soil zone yield for that crop. The insured person's annual productivity index for each soil zone is averaged across the insured person's reported acres for each soil zone to calculate a weighted annual productivity index for each crop produced. If there is insufficient data in a soil zone to calculate a representative average yield, annual productivity indexes are calculated as a ratio of the insured person's yield compared to the average yield for a larger geographic area. An insured person must have grown a crop in order to calculate an annual productivity index and must have had a minimum of 25 acres of a crop for an annual productivity index to be calculated. A starting point is calculated using a 10-year average of an insured person's annual productivity indexes with the limitation that the annual indexes cannot be higher than 1.3 or lower than 0.7. If an insured person has more than five years of production of that crop in the 10-year period, the starting point is a simple average of the insured person's annual productivity indexes. If an insured person has five years or less of production, a five-year average is calculated, with non-production years being assigned an annual index of 1.0 in the calculation. If an insured person has not grown the crop in the 10-year period, the starting point is 1.0. 13(4) The starting point and the annual productivity indexes are then used to calculate an accumulated index for each of the 10 years in the IPI time frame. Each of the accumulated indexes is an average of the previous years' annual indexes with two modifications. Firstly, for each of the first five years for which the insured person has production data, the average of the insured person's annual productivity indexes is given a weighting of 20% for each year of production data. The insured person's starting point is given a weighting of 100% minus the percentage based on production years for each year without production data to calculate his or her accumulated index. Secondly, an insured person's annual productivity index in any year cannot exceed 130% nor fall below 70% of the previous year's accumulated index in the calculation. In the first year of the calculation, the annual index cannot exceed 130% nor fall below 70% of the starting point. The accumulated index in the 10th year of the IPI formula is the insured person's IPI, with the applicable year being set out in subsection (2). 13(5) For the purposes of calculating the IPI under this section, certain crops are combined and are considered as one crop for IPI purposes. Those crops are identified in the Table to this Schedule. 13(6) If an insured person fails to report a yield, the corporation has the right to assign a yield for the purpose of future probable yield determination.

This provision sets formulas and rules for calculating crop insurance yields, coverage, and premium rates, including pasture days insurance and CCP coverage limits.
13(7) Yields on hail damaged fields are adjusted for documented hail losses. The insured person's harvested yield divided by the sum of one minus the percent damage will determine the insured person's hail adjusted yield for the year. The annual productivity index calculated from the hail adjusted yield cannot exceed the insured person's IPI. 13(8) Annual productivity index calculations for fields with documented third-party liability damage and damage caused by big game or waterfowl have been based on the same adjustment procedure that is used for hail losses. The annual productivity index calculated from the adjusted yield cannot exceed the insured person's IPI. 13(9) For the purpose of calculating annual productivity indexes, the area average yield includes adjustments for hail damage, third party liability damage and damage caused by big game or waterfowl. For the purpose of calculating the annual yield for an insurance area, actual individual yields (prior to adjustments for hail damage, third party liability damage and damage caused by big game or waterfowl) are used. 13(10) An insured person's IPI for a crop multiplied by the soil zone probable yield and in the case of the eight insurable crops identified in section 11, multiplied as well by the partial yield trend factor determines the insured person's probable yield. Individual probable yield method 14(1) Individual probable yield is determined from an insured person's production records. If an insured person fails to report a yield, the corporation has a right to assign a yield for the purpose of future probable yield determination. Where records are not available for each year of the base period, the difference between the insured person's yield and the area average yield is calculated for each year of available information. The differences are averaged over time to create a relative productivity difference for the insured person. For each year that records are available during the base period, the reliance on the relative productivity difference is increased by 20%, to a maximum of 100%. The insured person's yield for those years where individual information is not available is calculated by adding the area average yield to the product of the insured person's relative productivity difference multiplied by the reliance factor. The insured person's probable yield is calculated by taking a simple average of individual yields where available and adjusted area average yields where individual information is not available, all multiplied by the partial yield trend factor when required under section 11. 14(2) Documented losses due to third party damage are added back into an insured person's production to calculate their individual probable yield. Individual probable yield method for hay types 15 The probable yield method for hay crops is the same as the calculation used for annual crops described in section 14 of this Schedule, except for the following: (a) probable yields for select hay insurance are calculated separately for each select hay type based on age of stand; (b) for basic hay, the probable yields are calculated individually for each hay type based on age of stand and then combined into one probable yield for all basic hay types weighted on the basis of the insured person's acres of each hay type; (c) if a producer has less than five years' experience for any hay type (referred to in this item as the "low-experience hay type"), the producer's experience from other hay types (if available) is factored so that there is five years' experience for the low-experience hay type. This process applies to alfalfa, alfalfa grasses and grass hay types, but does not apply to sweet clover or coarse hay. The factors are based on the average relative provincial yields of each hay type over the base period; (d) starting with the 2021 crop year, probable yields for hay types use floor to ceiling yield cushioning, whereby all yields used in determining a producer's forage probable yield will be limited to a minimum of 70% and a maximum of 160% of their respective year's probable yield for alfalfa, alfalfa/grasses, grasses and sweet clover and a minimum of 60% and a maximum of 160% for coarse hay. Programs with dollar-per-acre coverage 16 In the case of excess moisture insurance, vegetable acreage loss insurance, small farm acreage loss pilot program insurance, forage restoration, forage establishment insurance, polycrop establishment insurance, novel crop insurance and the harvest flood option, coverage is based on a dollar per acre amount and no probable yield is calculated. Pasture 17 In the case of pasture, coverage is based on a dollar amount per head of pastured livestock and no probable yield is calculated. Pasture days insurance 18(1) In the case of pasture days insurance, coverage is based on a dollar amount per animal unit which reflects the approximate cost of replacement feed for each animal unit day during the period of insurance, as determined by the corporation. 18(2) The corporation calculates an insured person's pasture days insurance coverage in accordance with the following formula: A = B × C In this formula, A is the insured person's pasture guarantee expressed in animal unit days; B is 90%; C is the normal animal unit days of the insured as determined by the corporation. 18(3) The corporation does not calculate probable yield for pasture days insurance. Instead, the corporation annually establishes normal animal unit days in accordance with the following rules: 1. Normal animal unit days are determined as the product of an insured person's normal pasture period and the number of eligible animal units to be placed on pasture. 2. There is a two-year time lag in the calculation of normal animal unit days. Information from 2023 is the most recent used in the 2025 calculation. If an insured person fails to report their animals on pasture, pasture acreage, type of pasture or days on pasture, the corporation assigns a value for the unreported item for the purpose of calculating future coverage. 3. For each year, the corporation converts an insured person's reported pasture acreage to equivalent acres to account for the difference in productivity between improved, native and woodland pastures. The corporation determines the conversion factors based on its determination of the relative carrying capacity of each pasture type. 4. For each year, the corporation converts an insured person's reported animals to animal units to account for the difference in pasture consumption between types of animals. The corporation determines the conversion factors based on its determination of the relative feed consumption factors for each type and class of animal. 5. The base period for calculating provincial average days on pasture is 10 years. The provincial average days on pasture is a 10-year average of the annual provincial average reported days on pasture. 6. If there is no reported days-on-pasture data for use in calculating the annual provincial average reported days on pasture for any year in the 10-year base period, the corporation uses a base value calculated from historical data obtained from the records of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada for community pastures in Manitoba. 7. If an insured person has reported days-on-pasture data on file with the corporation, the annual adjusted individual days on pasture for each year of that reported data incorporates year-to-year structural changes in accordance with the following formula: A = B × (C ÷ D) ÷ (E ÷ F) In this formula, A is the annual adjusted individual days on pasture for the year being adjusted up to a maximum of 180 days; B is reported days on pasture during the period of insurance for the year being adjusted; C is reported animals on pasture for the year being adjusted, converted to animal units; D is reported acres for the year being adjusted, converted to equivalent acres; E is reported animals on pasture for the current year, converted to animal units; F is reported acres for the current year, converted to equivalent acres. 8. The average adjusted individual days on pasture is a simple average of the annual adjusted individual days on pasture for all years of reported days-on-pasture data, to a maximum of 10 years of reported data. 9. The normal pasture period for an insured person (a) who has at least one year but not more than five years of reported days-on-pasture data on file with the corporation is the weighted average of (i) the insured person's average adjusted individual days on pasture, weighted at 20% × NY, and (ii) the provincial average days on pasture, weighted at 20% × (5 − NY); where, for 2025, NY is the number of years of reported data on file with the corporation for the insured person, up to and including 2023; (b) who has six years or more of reported days-on-pasture data on file with the corporation is the average of the adjusted individual days on pasture for all years of reported data, to a maximum of 10 years of reported data; or (c) who does not have at least one year of reported days-on-pasture data on file with the corporation is the provincial average days on pasture. 10. Normal animal unit days is the product of the normal pasture period and the reported animal units for the year of insurance. CCP insurance 19 For CCP insurance, the probable yield methodologies are the same as for non-CCP production insurance. Enhanced quality option 20 In the case of the enhanced quality option, coverage is based on a relative feed value guarantee. Hay disaster benefit 21 In the case of the hay disaster benefit, no probable yield is calculated as the indemnity is based on the production shortfall of basic hay or select hay. Saskatoon and strawberry establishment insurance 22 For saskatoon establishment insurance and strawberry establishment insurance, no probable yield is calculated, as the indemnity is based on the number of plants lost and a dollar value per plant.

out the methodology used by the corporation to determine premium rates and premiums. 1(2) Premium rates reflect risk, and are generally based on historical loss experience. Adjustments are made to historical losses as necessary to reflect changes that have been made to the program over time. Loads are applied to the historical loss experience as required to ensure actuarial soundness. These adjustments and loads are outlined in this Schedule. 1(3) Specific applications of the following information on a crop by crop basis are set out in the Table to this Schedule. Actuarial certification 2 Federal government regulations under the Farm Income Protection Act (Canada) require that all premium rate methodologies be certified by an accredited actuary. Premium rates must be sufficient to ensure that the overall program is financially self-sustaining over time. Rating area 3 The areas used to amalgamate data for the purpose of calculating premium rates are generally consistent with the areas used to calculate probable yields. These areas are: (a) risk areas, with the province divided into 15 areas of homogeneous risk; (b) restricted areas, based on the amalgamation of risk areas, or specifically defined areas by crop; (c) all-province. Lag period 4 For all crops, and for forage establishment insurance, polycrop establishment insurance, and forage restoration, there is a lag of two years between the year of insurance and the last year of loss experience used in the premium rate calculations. For example, 2025 premium rates are based on loss experience ending in 2023. For excess moisture insurance, including the reduced deductible option, there is a lag of one year. Historical loss experience 5(1) The number of years of past losses used varies by insurance program. If the desired number of years of actual loss data is not available, a base rate is, in most cases, substituted for the unavailable loss data. The average loss experience is then calculated using a combination of the base rate and as many years of actual losses as are available. 5(2) The following methods are used to calculate base rates: Method 1 Estimates of average losses during the base rate period are used as a proxy. This base rate method results in the same estimated loss for each of the years in the base rate period. Method 2 Annual loss experience of another insured crop is used as a proxy. Some adjustments to the losses may be made to reflect agronomic differences between the crops. This base rate method results in different estimated losses for each of the years in the base rate period. Method 3 The pure loss rate, as described in subsection 8(3) of this Schedule, of another crop in an earlier year is used as a proxy. The pure loss rate of the proxy crop is based on loss experience for that crop and does not include loads. This base rate method results in the same estimated loss for each of the years in the base rate period. Method 4 Statistical formulas are applied to historical yield data to estimate losses. This base rate method results in the same estimated loss for each of the years in the base rate period. Method 5 Estimated past losses are adjusted to reflect changes in farming practices and technology. Method 6 Where no acceptable historical data is available, an actuarially approved estimate of probable future losses is determined by the corporation. Method 7 Statistical formulas are applied to historical yield data to estimate losses. Some adjustments are made to the losses to reflect historic program experience. This base rate method results in different estimated losses for each of the years in the base rate period. Method 8 The premium rate of another insured crop is multiplied by a factor to calculate the base rate. This base rate method results in the same estimated losses for each of the years in the base rate period. Adjustments to historical loss experience 6 Historical loss experience includes the base rate and actual past losses, as applicable. Historical loss experience is adjusted as necessary to reflect changes that have been made to insurance programs. The adjusted historical loss experience simulates what the historical losses would have been had the current program been in place. The adjustments to historical loss experience are: Probable Yield Adjustment In 1996 the method of calculating a probable yield was standardized to a 10-year moving average (this method, however, was implemented for canaryseed in 1993). An adjustment was made to the 1971 to 1995 loss experience for crops that previously had a different method of calculating probable yield. In 2010, the probable yield for tame hay crops was increased for quality adjustments. Losses before 2010 have been increased to reflect this change. Wheat Offsetting Adjustment In 2018, northern hard red wheat was removed from the other spring wheat program. The base rate and loss experience prior to 2018 have been adjusted to account for the offsetting of losses between varieties of wheat when grown by the same insured person. The load was applied to both the northern hard red wheat and other spring wheat programs. Individual Productivity Indexing Adjustment The introduction of Individual Productivity Indexing (IPI) has resulted in assigned probable yields that more closely reflect actual productivity levels than previously was the case. The impact that IPI has on reducing the deviation between actual yield and probable yield has been used to adjust the base rate and actual loss experience prior to 1993. Grade Guarantee Adjustment From time to time the corporation changes the grade guarantees for certain insurable crops or specifies guaranteed grades for certain insurable crops for which there were no previous grade guarantees. These changes may increase or decrease losses due to grade. The base rate and historical loss experience prior to the changes have been adjusted to reflect the cost of the new guaranteed grades. Reseeding Benefit Adjustment Reseeding benefits were introduced for most crops in 1984. The base rate and historical loss experience prior to the change have been adjusted to reflect the cost of these benefits. Stage 2 UH Adjustment In 2018, coverage on Stage 2 UH claims for grain corn, open pollinated corn, silage corn and soybeans (including pedigreed soybeans) was increased to 100% if the crop is destroyed. Loss experience from 2010 to 2017 has been increased to reflect this change. Forage Restoration Adjustment In 2009, the deadline for filing a forage restoration claim was changed from June 20 to October 1. For calculating premium rates, losses in 2009 include payments made to insured producers under the Manitoba Forage Restoration Assistance Program for losses which occurred from June 20, 2008 to October 1, 2008. Stage 1 Adjustment In 2014, coverage on Stage 1 indemnities were eliminated for winter wheat and fall rye. Loss experience prior to 2014 has been decreased to reflect this change. Forage Quality Adjustment In 2019, a change in the way poor quality forage crops are adjusted for claim purposes was implemented for select hay, greenfeed and silage corn to better reflect actual losses due to quality. Loss experience prior to 2019 has been increased to reflect this change. Yield Trend Adjustment In 2020, a positive yield trend was identified in eight crops (red spring wheat, canola, soybeans, grain corn, oats, white pea beans, irrigated processing potatoes and hemp grain) as a result of ongoing agronomic, technological and genetic advances. Historical loss experience prior to the change has been adjusted to reflect the cost of the increase in coverage. Losses for 2020 to 2023 for hemp grain have been adjusted for the increase in the yield trend factor applied to the probable yield calculation. Losses for 2020 to 2024 for soybeans, grain corn, oats, white pea beans, and irrigated potatoes have been adjusted for the decrease in the yield trend factor applied to the probable yield calculation. Quality Loss Adjustment In 2024, an aggregate adjustment factor was applied to probable yields for those crops insured with a No. 1 grade guarantee (barley, flax, fall rye, mustard, oil sunflower, prairie spring wheat, other spring wheat, rapeseed, and dry edible beans) to reflect historical quality losses in the annual yields. Historical loss experience prior to the change has been adjusted to reflect the additional losses due to quality. Premium loads 7 Premium loads are recalculated annually. The premium loads are: Uncertainty Load The uncertainty loads are calculated using a formula developed by the consulting actuary, with adjustments for agronomic concerns where warranted. Premium Discount Load The premium discount load increases premium rates to compensate for the reduction in premium revenue caused by the premium discount/surcharge system. An all-province premium discount load is applied to table potatoes and processing potatoes. For all other insurable crops, premium discount loads are applied by risk area. Self-Sustainability Load A target surplus of funds is determined by the corporation, giving consideration to the minimum level established by the federal government and the advice of a consulting actuary. The self-sustainability load is applied on an all-province basis. Interest Reduction Load The interest reduction load is designed to reduce premiums by the expected interest earnings for the year in the Production Insurance Fund, if the overall fund balance exceeds a designated surplus, as determined annually by the corporation in accordance with the methodology approved by the corporation's consulting actuary. The interest reduction load is applied on an all-province basis. Reinsurance Load The reinsurance load is designed to increase premium rates to reflect the net cost of reinsurance (premiums less recoveries), as determined annually be the corporation in accordance with the methodology developed in consultation with the federal government. The reinsurance load is applied on an all-province basis. Self-Sustainability Adjustment For the 2025 program, a self-sustainability adjustment is made to increase in premiums to collect a minimum amount of additional premiums to pass the self-sustainability test for 2024, as determined in consultation with the federal government. The self-sustainability adjustment is applied on an all-province basis. General rate methodology 8(1) This section outlines the general rating methodology which is used for most insurance programs. Exceptions to this general methodology are set out in section 9 of this Schedule. 8(2) The starting point is compiling the required number of years of historical loss experience. For most crops, 25 years of losses are required. If sufficient years of actual losses are not available, a base rate method, as described in section 5 of this Schedule, is used to fill in the missing years. These losses, whether base rate or actual, are based on a coverage level of 70% of probable yield. 8(3) The historical loss experience is adjusted if necessary to reflect program changes. These adjustments are described in section 6 of this Schedule. The result is referred to as the pure loss rate. 8(4) Premium loads, as described in section 7 of this Schedule, are then applied to the pure loss rate. The result is the premium rate for 70% coverage. 8(5) The premium rates for 50% and 80% coverage are calculated by applying factors to the 70% rate. These factors are calculated by comparing estimated losses at the 50%, 70% and 80% coverage levels from 1999 to 2023. In all cases, losses for 80% coverage must be at least 114.29% of losses for 70% coverage. When sufficient data is not available to calculate factors for a specific crop, a proxy crop as selected by the corporation is used. 8(6) The starting point for Select Hay Insurance is the historical loss experience based on the coverage level of 80% of probable yield. The historical loss experience is adjusted if necessary to reflect program changes to calculate the pure loss rate. Premium loads are then applied to the pure loss rate to calculate a premium rate for the 80% coverage. The premium rate for 70% coverage is then calculated by applying a factor to the 80% rate. The factor is calculated by comparing estimated losses at the 70% and 80% coverage levels from 1999 to 2023. 8(7) The premium rates are capped at a 10% year-over-year increase to mitigate the effects of a large increase in premium rates following a high loss year. Those insurance programs that are fixed for a five-year period, including vegetables, vegetable acreage loss, small farm acreage loss pilot program, fruit establishment, novel crop, and hay disaster benefit, are not capped. Exceptions 9 Exceptions to the general premium rate methodology are: Loss Experience Volatility Adjustment For perennial ryegrass seed, greenfeed, hemp grain, open pollinated corn, organic crops, proso millet, tall fescue seed, soybeans, forage restoration, and the harvest flood option, the relatively short span of historical data used creates a potential for high volatility in average loss experience. To lessen the volatility in premium rates, the historical loss rate for an individual year is capped at two times the premium rate for that year. Any losses in excess of two times premium are divided by 25 to establish a volatility adjustment. The volatility adjustments for all years of actual experience are totalled and added to the average of the capped historical loss rates to determine the actual loss experience. This process minimizes the effect of crop disasters on premiums during the first 25 years of the program. After 25 years of actual experience have been accumulated, unadjusted losses will be used. Credibility Adjustment One or more of the following credibility adjustments are used to calculate premium rates, depending on the crop: 1. Determination of 25-year average loss experience — for perennial ryegrass seed, greenfeed, hemp grain, open pollinated corn, organic crops, proso millet, tall fescue seed, soybeans, basic hay, select hay, pasture, the enhanced quality option, forage restoration, and the harvest flood option, the premium rates are calculated using a weighted average of base rate or proxy crop loss experience (as applicable) and actual loss experience for each crop. The weight on actual loss experience is determined by the following formula, and the remaining weight is placed on the proxy crop: A ÷ B In this formula, A is the number of available years of actual loss experience for the insured crop; B is 25. 2. Determination of loss experience in a given year — for all types of wheat crops except red spring wheat, mixed grain, cranberry beans, kidney beans, small red beans, other dry edible beans, lentils, open pollinated corn, organic crops, rapeseed and triticale, the premium rates are calculated using a weighted average of proxy loss experience and actual loss experience for each crop. The weight on actual loss experience in a given year is determined by the following formula, and the remaining weight for the given year is placed on the proxy loss: A ÷ B In this formula, A is the number of insured acres of the insured crop; B is 5,000. Pedigreed Seed Crops If a non-pedigreed seed crop has a corresponding pedigreed seed crop, both shall be considered as one crop for the purpose of determining the premium rate for each crop. Potatoes The rate calculation for potatoes is based on historical losses at 80% coverage, rather than 70%. Separate premium rates for dryland processing potatoes, irrigated processing potatoes and table potatoes are determined based on theoretical losses. Both non-seed and seed potatoes shall be considered as one crop for the purpose of determining premium rates. EMI Reduced Deductible Option The premium rates for all deductible levels are based on historical losses between the 5% and 10% deductible levels, with premium rates above the 10% deductible level adjusted to reflect the fact that producers who select this option are more likely to make a claim. The premium per acre at each deductible level is calculated using a weighted average of (a) the historical loss rate between the 5% and 10% deductible levels multiplied by the reduced deductible option coverage per acre; and (b) the reduced deductible option coverage per acre. The weight on reduced deductible option coverage increases by 20% for every 5% increase in deductible above 10%, so that the premium rate at the 35% deductible level is equal to 100% of reduced deductible option coverage. For the purposes of this calculation, reduced deductible option coverage per acre is equal to EMI coverage per acre multiplied by the deductible level minus the 5% minimum deductible. Starting with the 2014 crop year, the sign-up deadline for excess moisture insurance was moved from March 31, 2014 to November 30, 2013. In recognition of the lower risk of claims associated with the deadline change, the historical loss rate was reduced by 25%. Select Hay, Basic Hay and Pasture The base rate calculation for select hay, basic hay and pasture is based on historical tame hay losses at 50%, 70% and 80% coverage. EMI High Dollar Value The premium rate for EMI high dollar value coverage (additional coverage above the basic EMI) starts (a) at 1 1/2 times the basic EMI rate for the first coverage level above basic EMI; and (b) at twice the basic EMI rate for the second coverage level above basic EMI. For both of those coverage levels, at each increase in deductible level, the premium rate increases by a percentage determined by the corporation until the premium rate at the 35% deductible level equals the additional coverage. Loads are applied to the resulting pure loss rate. Pasture The corporation assigns a dominant forage region for the purposes of determining an insured person's premium rate for pasture. The dominant forage region is the forage region in which the corporation determines the majority of the insured person's insured acres are located. The premium rating areas used for pasture are the same as the forage regions. Pasture Days Insurance The corporation must establish the premium rate applicable to pasture days insurance in accordance with the following rules: 1. The pasture days insurance premium rate is to reflect the risk of experiencing a pasture shortfall. 2. The pure-loss rate is calculated as the average of losses over 25 years. If sufficient years of program loss information are not available, a base rate is used to fill in the missing years. There is a two-year time lag in the calculation. Program loss information from 2023 is the most recent used in the 2025 calculation. 3. The base rate is established through statistical analysis of grazing period variability using records of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada for community pastures in Manitoba, which include 13 years of history. 4. To establish the all-province premium rate, the pure-loss rate is loaded for interest, self-sustainability, uncertainty, reinsurance and self-sustainability adjustment. Novel Crop Insurance The premium rate calculation for novel crops is based on a provincial loss rate at 70% coverage. The base rate is equal to the total indemnities divided by total coverage for annual multi-peril crops from 1996 to 2016. The premium rate is fixed for a five-year period. Crops with Limited Data Due to limited data, the premium rates for vegetable crops, vegetable acreage loss insurance, small farm acreage loss pilot program insurance, strawberry establishment insurance, saskatoon establishment insurance and hay disaster benefit are fixed for a five-year period. Other Adjustments If the corporation considers that any earlier loss experience for a crop or rating area is not representative of future losses, it may make any adjustment that it considers necessary. Calculation of premiums generally 10(1) The basic premium per acre for each rating area is the product of the premium rate for that area multiplied by the average probable yield for that area multiplied by the dollar value multiplied by the coverage level selected. 10(2) Subject to sections 11 and 12 of this Schedule, the premium payable is the product of the basic premium per acre for the crop and coverage level selected multiplied by the number of acres insured, adjusted (if applicable) by the insured person's percentage discount or surcharge, where applicable. Premium discounts or surcharges are based on the insured person's loss experience. Calculation of specific premiums 11(1) In the case of excess moisture insurance, forage establishment insurance and polycrop establishment insurance, the premium payable per acre is the product of the premium rate multiplied by the dollar coverage per acre offered and selected. 11(2) In the case of forage restoration, (a) the premium payable per acre is the product of the premium rate multiplied by the dollar coverage per acre offered; and (b) the premium payable for basic hay, select hay (other than sweet clover and coarse hay), alfalfa seed, pedigreed timothy seed and tall fescue seed is increased to reflect the cost of the forage restoration benefit. 11(3) In the case of vegetable acreage loss insurance and small farm acreage loss pilot program insurance, the premium payable per acre is the product of the premium rate and the acreage loss coverage offered by the corporation. 11(4) In the case of the harvest flood option, the premium payable per acre is the product of the premium rate and the dollar coverage per acre offered and selected. 11(5) In the case of pasture, the total premium payable is calculated in accordance with the following formula: A = B × (C × D × E × F) In this formula, A is the premium payable; B is dollar value; C is the number of eligible livestock; D is the livestock category; E is the coverage level selected by the insured person; F is the premium rate. 11(6) In the case of pasture days insurance, the premium payable per animal unit is calculated in accordance with the following formula: A = B × C × D × E In this formula, A is the premium payable per animal unit, as determined by the corporation; B is the normal animal unit days of the insured, as determined by the corporation; C is 90%; D is the all-province premium rate per animal unit day, as determined by the corporation; E is the pasture dollar value per animal unit day, as determined by the corporation. 11(7) For saskatoon establishment insurance and strawberry establishment insurance, the premium payable is calculated in accordance with the following formula: A = B × C × D In this formula, A is the premium payable; B is the premium rate; C is dollar value; D is the number of eligible plants. 11(8) In the case of the enhanced quality option, the premium payable is calculated in accordance with the following formula: A = (B − C) × D × E × F In this formula, A is the premium payable; B is the RFV guarantee; C is the base RFV guarantee for alfalfa insured as select hay; D is the production guarantee for alfalfa insured as select hay; E is the dollar value; F is the premium rate. 11(9) In the case of the hay disaster benefit, the premium payable per acre is calculated in accordance with the following formula: A = B × C × D × E In this formula, A is the premium payable; B is the premium rate; C is the dollar value; D is the probable yield for the hay type; E is the coverage level selected by the insured. 11(10) In the case of novel crop insurance, the premium payable per acre is the product of the premium rate multiplied by the dollar coverage per acre selected by the insured. Premium discount re CCP insurance 12 The coverage level for CCP Insurance is limited to a maximum of 90%. In cases where the calculated coverage level exceeds 90%, the coverage level for the collection of individual insurable crops selected by the insured person for such CCP insurance is capped at 90%, and a premium discount is applied. The premium discount is calculated in accordance with the following formula: A = (B − C) ÷ B In this formula, A is the premium discount; B is expected losses at the calculated coverage level; C is expected losses at the 90% coverage level.

This schedule sets how the corporation calculates dollar values and coverage amounts for several crop insurance products.
that is used in the calculation of coverages, dollar coverages, premiums and indemnities. Dollar value and unit value have same meaning 2 For the purposes of this Schedule, the terms "dollar value" and "unit value" have the same meaning. Insurable dollar values and maximums 3 The corporation determines the insurable dollar values for each insurable crop, for excess moisture insurance, for saskatoon establishment insurance, for strawberry establishment insurance, for forage establishment insurance, for polycrop establishment insurance and for forage restoration. The dollar values cannot exceed the maximum unit value that would result from the application of a test prescribed by the federal government where such dollar value is calculated by the corporation. Dollar value methodology 4 The corporation determines dollar values in the following manner: 1. For red spring wheat, durum wheat, hard white wheat, prairie spring wheat, other spring wheat, winter wheat, northern hard red wheat, triticale, barley, mixed grain, oats, fall rye, flax, canola, rapeseed, mustard, oil sunflowers, non-oil sunflowers, grain corn, open pollinated corn, field peas, white pea beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, cranberry beans, black beans, small red beans, other dry edible beans, lentils, soybeans, fababeans, buckwheat, canaryseed and proso millet, the federal government provides the corporation with a forecast of the Manitoba market price for the guaranteed grade for the upcoming crop year. 2. For field peas, the federal government provides the corporation with a forecast of the Manitoba market price for the various grades for the upcoming crop year and the corporation then applies the average of the #2 and #3 Canada grades. 3. For pedigreed seed production of red spring wheat, durum wheat, hard white wheat, prairie spring wheat, winter wheat, northern hard red wheat, barley, oats, canola, rapeseed, soybeans, flax and field peas, the corporation uses the dollar values for the corresponding non-pedigreed seed crop, and then adds an amount determined by the corporation to reflect the higher cost of producing pedigreed seed. 4. For seed production of processing potatoes and table potatoes, the corporation uses the dollar values for the corresponding crop, and then adds an amount determined by the corporation to reflect the higher cost of producing seed potatoes. 5. For annual and perennial ryegrass seed and tall fescue seed, the dollar value is a simple five-year average with a two-year lag of the Manitoba market price for those crops. An annual weighted-average market price is derived from common seed and pedigreed seed. Historical market prices are provided by the Manitoba Forage Seed Association. 6. For common and pedigreed alfalfa seed and pedigreed timothy seed, the dollar value is a simple five-year average with a two-year lag of the Manitoba market price for those respective crops. Historical market prices are provided by the Manitoba Forage Seed Association. 7. For processing potatoes (dryland and irrigated), the 2025 dollar value is equal to the 2024 weighted average contract price for processing potatoes in Manitoba after that price has been adjusted to account for the average of all bonuses and deductions applied by all processing potato purchasers in respect of all potatoes purchased during the 2021 to 2023 three-year period (a two-year lag). All information about contract prices, bonuses and deductions is provided by the Keystone Potato Producers Association. 8. For table potatoes, the dollar value is 80% of the five-year average market price for table potatoes with a two-year lag. The 80% value reflects an approximation of field costs only. Historical market prices are provided by Peak of the Market. 9. For hemp grain, the dollar value is a simple five-year average price with a two-year lag of the Manitoba market price for the guaranteed grade for the crop year. The Manitoba market price is established in consultation with Manitoba hemp grain processors. 10. For select hay types, the dollar value is a five-year average with a two-year lag of the Manitoba market value of dairy quality alfalfa hay, adjusted to reflect relative feed values, and with an added allowance to reflect the cost of transporting replacement hay in the case of crop losses. Historical market prices for dairy quality alfalfa hay are provided by the Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association. For sweet clover, the dollar value is the average of the dollar values for alfalfa grass mixtures and grasses. 11. For basic hay, the low dollar option is 30% of the dollar value for alfalfa insured as select hay. The basic hay high dollar option is 50% of the dollar value for alfalfa insured as select hay. 12. For the purpose of the enhanced quality option, the dollar value used is the difference between the five-year average of the Manitoba market value of dairy quality alfalfa hay and the five-year average of the Manitoba market value of average quality hay. Historical market prices are provided by the Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association and incorporate a two-year lag. 13. For the purpose of the harvest flood option, the high dollar option is the five-year average of the value of coarse hay less the cost of production on a per acre basis. The low dollar option is $15 less. Cost of production estimates are provided by Manitoba Agriculture. 14. For the purpose of the hay disaster benefit, the dollar value used reflects the average increase in Manitoba hay prices in a provincial hay shortfall plus the average hay trucking cost, all as determined by the corporation. 15. For greenfeed, the dollar value is an average of the base dollar value for barley and the dollar value for alfalfa grass mixtures, both adjusted to a greenfeed equivalent. The dollar value of greenfeed is adjusted so that the greenfeed dollar coverage per acre does not differ from the barley dollar coverage per acre by more than 25%, on an all-province basis. 16. For carrots, cooking onions, parsnips, and rutabagas, the dollar value is based on an estimated cost of production, as determined by the corporation using estimates provided by Manitoba Agriculture. The corporation updates these estimates where applicable. 17. For excess moisture insurance, the maximum dollar value reflects the average land and machinery investment costs, as determined by the corporation. 18. For forage restoration, the dollar value reflects the estimated cost of restoring the forage, as determined by the corporation. 19. For pasture, the dollar value per pastured livestock reflects the approximate cost of maintaining an animal on pasture for the summer, as determined by the corporation. 20. For pasture days insurance, the dollar value reflects the approximate cost of replacement feed for each animal unit day during the period of insurance. 21. For organic production of red spring wheat, durum wheat, hard white wheat, winter wheat, prairie spring wheat, other spring wheat, northern hard red wheat, barley, fall rye, flax, field peas, hemp grain and oats, the corporation uses the dollar value of the corresponding non-organic crop multiplied by a factor that the corporation determines to reflect the higher market value of organic crops. 22. For saskatoon establishment insurance and strawberry establishment insurance, the dollar value reflects the estimated cost of the plants, as determined by the corporation using estimates provided by Manitoba Agriculture. 23. For silage corn, the dollar value is calculated in accordance with the following formula: A = (B × C × D) ÷ E In this formula, A is the dollar value for silage corn; B is the dollar value for grain corn; C is the provincial average probable yield for grain corn; D is 102%; E is the provincial average probable yield for silage corn. 24. For oil sunflowers, the federal government provides the corporation with a forecast of the Manitoba market price for the various markets (birdseed, oil crush and de-hulled baking kernels) for the upcoming crop year. The corporation then calculates a weighted average price based on the expected market share of each type. 25. For forage establishment insurance, the high dollar value represents the cost of establishing a forage crop, as determined by the corporation using estimates provided by Manitoba Agriculture. The low dollar value option is 50% of the high dollar value option. 26. For polycrop establishment insurance, the high dollar value represents the cost of establishing a polycrop, as determined by the corporation. The low dollar value option is 50% of the high dollar value option. Acreage loss coverage 5(1) Acreage loss coverage is a dollar amount per acre that is used in the calculation of dollar coverages, premiums and indemnities for vegetable acreage loss insurance and novel crop insurance. 5(2) For vegetable acreage loss insurance and small farm acreage loss pilot program insurance, the corporation determines the acreage loss coverage for each eligible vegetable crop on the basis of the corporation's approximation of field costs. 5(3) For novel crop insurance, the corporation determines the maximum acreage loss coverage based on the weighted average dollar coverage per acre at 70% for multi-peril crops. Three dollar amounts per acre may be offered, up to the maximum acreage loss coverage. Contract Price Option 6 For the contract price option, the corporation calculates an average price of contracted production with the base dollar value, weighted by production.
