Leonard Feranacci who runs his father’s vineyard at Niagara-on-the- Lake has lost several appeals he filed against crop insurance decisions made by AgriCorp.
The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Agribusiness and Food Appeals Tribunal ruled in favour of AgriCorp on all of the appeals, including the extent of winter damage to vines and AgriCorp’s cancellation of the Fernacci insurance contract.
Fernacci claimed crop insurance employees lied but the tribunal believed them and not Feranacci.
