At the disaster committee’s request, federal agriculture mini­ ster John Wise toured Exeter area farms October 17 to see crop damage first hand, but since then the only word to come from either level of government is a promise to review the Canada/Ontario crop insurance scheme, another sore point with beleagured farmers.
