Insurance claims jumped after hailstorms July 2-3 pummelled some crops across the Canadian Prairies, but claims for the year are just average to light, the Canadian Crop Hail Association said July 8. It reported year-to-date totals of nearly 1,000 claims in Saskatchewan, more than 300 claims in Manitoba and nearly 200 claims in Alberta. Hail damage to crops would be greater but Saskatchewan and Manitoba farmers left millions of acres unplanted this spring due to floods. – Reuters
