The Canadian Crop Hail Association says more than 10,000 damage claims have been received by its member companies so far this season.
The association says in a release that at the mid-point of the year, Saskatchewan farmers filed 6,900 claims — the most on the Prairies.
The five-year average for Alberta and Saskatchewan is up slightly, while Manitoba is down somewhat for the hail season, which ends in October.
Processing of received claims is about half complete.
