Okanagan tree fruit growers can protect their investment with hail insurance offered jointly by the federal and provincial governments.
The Ministry of Agriculture distributes a guide to tree fruit growers at www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/farming-natural-resources-and-industry/agriculture-and-seafood/programs/insurance-and-income-protection/production-insurance/tf_hail_guide.pdf
The federal and provincial governments subsidize the premium of each hail insurance policy.
