The eligibility requirements for the On- tario Pork Industry Improvement Plan have been changed to allow the smaller farrow -to -finish pork producer to take ad- vantage of the program. A producer must have 20 sow equivalents with one sow equivalent equal to one sow or 15 market hogs marketed annually. The following combinations are eligible: (a) 20 sows; (b) 15 sows and at least 75 market hogs; (c) 10 sows and at least 150 market hogs; (c) 5 sows and 225 market hogs; (e) 300 market hogs or any other cominbation that meets the 20 sow equivalents or more. These producers who are now eligible are able to collect the yearly grants from 1987 onward to the end of the program. You may collect the Ventilation Grant, the Pro- ductivity and Quality Improvement Grant and the Rodent Control Grant from April 1, 1986. Pocket Record Booklets I would like to thank those who have sub- mitted their production records for the se- cond quarter of 1987. I would like to remind anyone who hasn't submitted their records, to do so as soon as possible to maintain their eligibility in the Ontario Pork Industry Improvement Plan. Some concern has been expressed over what is required for production records for this program. The production records re- quired are very straightforward and can be completed if a producer keeps a minimum set of records. The production record form is divided into the following sections: sales, purchases, production figures, death losses and monthly inventory. To ease information collecting, a pocket -sized booklet, especially designed to correspond to the O.P.I.I.P. production records has been developed. The booklet is divided into different categories as seen on the production record sheet and can be us- ed to collect three months of information. If you think this booklet would be useful, please contact your local office for a copy. If you have questions dealing with the new eligibility requirements, record keep- ing booklet, or anything else for the O.P.I.I.P., please contact me at 881-3301 or 1-800-265-3023.

Winter Wheat Insurance allows you to protect your crop against natural hazards such as winter -kill, floods, droughts, frost, insects and disease. In ad - FARM REPO_ ' T dition, crop insurance offers you a guarantee of quality and a production guarantee based on your "average farm yield". The "average farm yield" is tailored to fit the individual farmer's production capabilities. The "average farm yield" begins with the area average yield in the first year and in following years, the ac- tual farm yield is calculated into the average until, after five years, when your average farm yield is based solely on your own production records. Crop Insurance guarantees you a percentage of your "average farm yield." The first year with crop insurance guarantees you 75 percent of your average farm yield. The guarantee percentage of your "average farm yield" will vary for each successive year depending oh your claim in the previous year. Your coverage can increase to 80 percent, but will never be less than 70 percent of your "average farm yield". If your actual production falls below your production guarantee, you can claim for the difference. The farmer has three price options to choose from. The ,Government of Canada provides financial assistance to the Canada -Ontario Crop Insurance Program by contributing 50 percent of the total premiums. This enables producers to purchase insurance' protection at a price they can afford. For more information and to apply con- tact your local Crop Insurance'Agent.
