County Pins At HQMeMakers Achievement Day As happens every three years my fire insurance policy on my farm buildings came up for re- newal. Even though I carry a minimum of insurance I am al- ways somewhat alarmed to find that the total comes so close to the sale price of the farm. It is even more frustrating when we find farm buyers who are willing to pay practically the same price for a farm with- otit buildings. We are told that farming is a business. But it must be a funny business. What other business would reap a handsome profit ,if fire destroyed its production centre. My position is not unique. According to my insurance ag- ent, the, vast majority of farm- ers carry much higher cover- age than I do and rightly so. There are three valties to be put on a farm barn and house. The one most of us are con- Cerned with when we think of fire insurance is the replace- ment value. I doubt that any farmer has enough insurance to equal this figure. The second value is the de- predated value. To be fair, the insurance should cover this and I would suppose this would be the case with most farmers. This is fine but unfortunately farmers have been Using this depreciation as part of their income and do not have this depredation fund to make up the difference between the in- surance , and the replacement cost in the event of fire or to Make total replacement at the time When the building is done. Most of us are really enjoy- ing some measure Of prosPerity only as a result of the legacy left us by our fore-bearers in the form of very substantial farm buildings. The third value of farm buildings is their earning value. The house is simply a place to live as is any other dwel- ling and is really an expense as is thp urban house. Now let us consider the barn. Basically the land is worth what it will produce. Hay and grain, etc., have a cash value at harvest time. The barn transforms these feeds into saleable livestock products. The value of the barn is based on how much this transformation increases the value of the production of the land, This increase in value should provide a labour wage for the time spent in caring for the livestock. It should also pro- vide for the taxes, repairs, and depreciation of the barn. Since some cash croppers seem to be doing quite well, the value of our barns would seem to be rather doubtful. Farmers are -just too honest to take advantage of a tempt- ing situation. Or might we say it's "A Matter of Principle." 0 Bluewater Bowlers Elect New Officer The Bluewater Bowling Club met at the home of Reg.
