Ontario strawberry producers can now apply for enhanced coverage under the Production Insurance plan that covers losses during the winter month. The 2016 strawberry Production Insurance plan provides protection against a number of adverse weather conditions, including winter injury and wildlife. This enhanced coverage offers peace of mind to producers during the winter months for both Dayneutral and June-bearing varieties.
