AgriInsurance

Amount:

$10,000.00

The following vegetable crops are designated as insurable crops under the Newfoundland and Labrador AgriInsurance Program: beet, cabbage, carrot (grown on mineral or peat soil), parsnip, potato (grown from certified class seed or better; locally grown certified seed as well as imported certified seed are eligible - exclusion: Russet Burbank is not eligible for coverage) and rutabaga.
