Hail adjusters are looking at more than 300 crop damage claims from storms in late July and early August on the prairies.

The president of the Canadian Crop Hail Association, Rick Omelchenko, says storms damaged a variety of pulses, oilseeds and cereal crops in northwest and southwest parts of the Saskatchewan grainbelt.

He adds there were several storms in the southern grainbelt, dumping half-inch size hail.

Omelchenko says farmers near Wilkie, Eastend, Foam Lake, Wadena, Estevan and Preeceville were among the areas suffering crop loss in the past 2 weeks.

Omelchenko says recent storms caused minor to medium damage but there were a few areas with considerable loss.
