Clarence Down, district director of the Ontario Vegetable Growers Marketing Board outlines the new scheme. Growers may participate in the government plan as well as the factory insurance which has been used in the past. The premiums will be $3 per acre for corn and $4.50 for peas. If using the government crop in- surance plan all contracted acreage must be insured. Growers without claims will receive a 5 percent discount, for the following year. In establishing the insurance, the processor agrees to pay for the seed if there is no crop at all. Some changes are also being made for 1971 in the insurance coverage available through the factory. On peas the coverage is being extended to include hail, wet, disease and insects. Corn coverage now includes hail and frost. Down also said, the 1971 prices had been set last week. Pea prices would be exactly the same as a year ago while corn was 50 cents higher at $30 per ton. He added that spraying costs maybe a little bit higher this year, In regard to 1971 acreages, fieldman Ted Wright said there would probably be little change from a year ago. Wright outlined the role of a fieldman and indicated that any problems between the fieldman and growers usually come from misunderstanding or lack of communication. He added, "If you have any problems, tell us instead of your neighbour and we will likely be able to straighten it out," Association president Harry Dougall commented on the ex- cellent relationship between the processor and growers in this area. This sentiment was echoed by Canadian Canners manager Jack Urquhart who said con- tracting would begin very shortly. Other guests at the head table that spoke briefly were Exeter mayor Jack Delbridge, Huron's assistant Ag Rep Mike Miller and Newt Ashton, Ag Rep for Perth. Ashton invited everyone to attend the International Plowing match to be held in 1972 in his county near Sebringville. More than $4,000 is being of- fered in prizes for a paint-up clean-up campaign and homestead improvement projects.
