National Errors & Ommission/Damages Policy:
At the CSGA National meeting in Quebec City this past summer a motion was passed to 'investigate the potential of a national errors & omissions/damages policy for its members'. Farrell Agencies was contacted and charged with this responsibility. The result is Seed Industry Plus-a stand alone errors & omissions policy available nationwide.
