Ontario Crop" Insurance pian
is a multj• peril plan which is
available to .farmers at ap-

The cost is reduced* for
participants since the federal

premium and the provincial
government all of the. ad-

Crop insurance gives a
farmer a production guara'h-

coverage is available if re-

weather conditions prevent a'
farmer from planting, a ,pre•
