Municipal Hail Insurance Association officially came into being in 1917 through an Act of the Saskatchewan Legislature. Since then, the Association has been continuously providing crop hail insurance for Saskatchewan farmers. The Association is comprised of all municipalities in Saskatchewan and operates under the authority of the Municipal Hail Insurance Act.
Municipal Hail’s business is delivered by three crop hail products:
Saskatchewan Municipal Hail Insurance Association (SMHI)

Each of these companies are operated by Municipal Hail and collectively these entities allow MHI to achieve our vision of providing crop hail coverage that meets the demands of producers at cost while providing unparalleled customer service.
