The number of crop hail claims declined during the second half of July, but the early numbers were very substantial.
A significant percentage of crop hail claims this year were filed in a single week in early July.
Rodney Schoettler is the Chief Executive Officer with Saskatchewan Municipal Hail Insurance (SMHI).
The number of claims has eased since that period.
Schoettler says adjusters are still working through the backlog of claims from early July.
Schoettler says August weather is still a concern.
He’s hoping the current trend of lower crop hail claims continues.
