The Canadian Crop Hail Association states that more than 10,000 hail damage claims have been received this year.
The association adds that at the mid-point of the year 6,900 claims have been filed by Saskatchewan farmers- the most in the Prairies.
The five-year average for Alberta and Saskatchewan is up slightly, while the average for Manitoba is down for the hail season.
Only about half the received claims have been processed.
Overall, claims are on pace with 2018, where more than 11,000 claims were filed by the end of the year.
