This presentation provides an overview of the Livestock Price Insurance (LPI) program, administered by Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation (SCIC). You will learn how LPI works as a simple, market-driven, risk management tool designed to protect against unexpected declines in cattle prices. The session highlights purchase windows, policy lengths, and the factors that shape premium rates, including futures markets, currency, basis, and feed costs.
​​​
We walk through how LPI policies establish a floor price, how producers can tailor coverage for calf, feeder, and fed cattle while using the premium and settlement tables.
​​
Attendees gain insight into how LPI coverage is based on forecasted prices and Western Canadian market data.
By the end of the session, producers understand how LPI fits within a broader risk management strategy and how SCIC supports Saskatchewan producers in enrolling and using the program.
Janelle Kuntz is the Manager of SCIC Program Advisors, with over 26 years of expertise in agriculture business risk management. Janelle’s impressive career began in Winnipeg with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, before she brought her talents to SCIC in 2010.
