Figures compiled by the Crop
Insurance Commission of Ontario
show that crop insurance sales for
this spring's crops are up 15
percent over last year.
Nine spring crops are insured:
corn, spring grain (oats, barley
and mixed grain), soybeans,
white beans, colored beans, new
forage seeding, onions, potatoes
and flax. A total of 27 different
crops are covered this year by the
insurance plan' which protects
producers from financial losses
from crop failures. As well as the
spring crops, winter wheat, fruit,
seed corn, canning crops (toma-
toes, sweet corn, etc.) and
tobacco, are included.
Agriculture Minister William
Newman said crop insurance has
gained wide acceptance by far-
mers, with the number of partici-
pating producers rising each
year.
The crop insurance plan was
initiated in the fall of 1966 with
699 plantings being covered that
year. In 1975, 22,700 plantings
were covered and about 25,000
are expected to be covered this
year.
The amount paid out each year
fluctuates depending on the suc-
cess of the crops covered. About
$8.5 million were paid- out in
1975, down from about $11
million the previous year when
the corn crop suffered set-backs.
Crop insurance is a federal-
provincial program. The federal
government pays half the pre-
mius and the farmer pays the
other half. The province adminis-
ters the program and pays, all the
administrative costs which
amounted in 1975 to $1.5 million.
Payments to producers are made
from the premium fund.
