Crop. insurance pays $1 million
- The amount Of crop
insurance paid out to
Ontario white bean
farmers for the 1978 crop
will be close to one
million dollars, but, a far
cry from 1977.
At the recent annual
meeting of the Huron
County division of the
Ontario Bean Producers
Marketing Board, Crop
Insurance Commissioner
Art Bolton said 452 claims
had been paid up to
November 28 to a total of
$916,811.
Bolton said "A few
more claims are waiting
to be processed which
could bring the final
figure to just under one
million."
The insurance
representative said 1,774
farmers contracted for
white bean crop in-
surance this year. This
was an increase of 80
contracts over 1970.
The total acreage i
sured this year was 98,81
for a total value t
$12,249,000.
Income for th
Insurance Commissio
$1;312,0110 with one -hal
coming through farme
premiums and the other
from government sub
sidles.
This shows a smal
profit for 1978 and Boltor
added, "This slight
margin helps a little to
make up for the 1977 crop
disaster."
Mr. Bolton said in 1977
1,346 claims were paid for
a total in excess of nine
million dollars, out of
1,694 crops ensured.
Mr. Bolton said he
expected premium rates
for 1979 would be $5.50,
$6.45 and $7.35, respec-
tively per acre according
to the option taken.
