Although final data on 1988 yields are not yet available, the program is currently estimated to cost up to $850 million. Con- sultations are underway with the pro- vinces regarding program design and cost- sharing. The Canadian Crop Drought Assistance Program brings total special government assistance to offset this year's drought losses to about $1 billion. This new assistance will supplement the estimated record payment of $800 - $900 million being made to farmers across the country under crop insurance. More than 90 per cent of this amourt is drought -related. Farmers will receive crop -specific acreage payments. Payment rates will vary depending on the extent of crop losses, normal yields and average crop in- surance coverage in each area. This method of payment targets the highest level of assistance to producers in the areas hardest hit by drought. Maximum per acre wheat payments on the prairies are estimated to be in the $40 to $45 range. A southern Ontario corn pro- ducers with a 40 per cent crop loss would receive about $50 to $57 per acre. All crops in seriously affected areas will be considered for assistance, except those covered under the livestock drought assistance program announced last June. "This year, many prairie producers ex- perienced the worst growing conditions every recorded. In Ontario and Quebec, it was one of the driest springs on record. In the face of this disaster, special assistance is required . over and above crop in- surance," Mr. Mazankowski said. The formula for crop drought payments uses current market prices, which are substantially higher for many affected crops than the prices guaranteed under crop insurance. In addition, yield figures will be up to 10 per cent above average regional crop insurance coverage levels, subject to further consultations with the provinces on program design. Ministers have instructed the federal - provincial drought committee, in consulta- tion with producer representatives, to work out program administration details and to define drought areas as soon as possible. Crop insurance information is still coming in. Because crop losses vary greatly this year, even within local areas, producers review committees will be °set up to recommend adjustments to payment rates as necessary. "Drought hp s dealt a severe blow to many grain h. niers already suffering from two consecutive years of low prices due to the international subsidy war," Mr. Mayer said: "This special assistance, together with crop insurance payments, will cushion the effects of this year's drought and help strengthen the financial position of producers going into the 1989 planting season." Crop drought payments to bothinsured and uninsured producers will be the same, so that federal -provincial crop insurance plans are not undermined. "Crop insurance will remain the best protection against income losses resulting fr )m drought and other natural di; sters," Mr. Mazankowski said. "At the same time, both the federal and provincial governments recognize the need for im- provements to crop insurance. "The federal government places a high priority on discussions with producers and the provinces aimed at improving crop in- surance so that ad hoc payments for crop losses will not be required in the future." Today's announcement completes the comprehensive federal -provincial response to 1988 farm drought problems. In May, the federal government announc- ed a $12 -million increase in water develop- ment programming. In June, a $153 -million federal -provincial drought program for prairie livestock producers was announced. At that time, governments promised producers that crop assistance would be forthcoming. Application forms from the Canadian Crop Drought Assistance Program will be available soon, so that first payments to producers can go out early in the new year. Hogs get paid Hog producers enrolled in the National Tripartite Price Stabilization Program will be spaid $44 million for the third quarter of 1988. Cheques will be sent to about 13,800 producers in the four member provinces representing about 46 per cent of Canadian hog production. Hog producers in Alberta, Saskat- chewan, Manitoba andd Ontario are eligi- ble for the third-quarter payment of $23.53 per hog. This is based on the difference between the support price of $166.58 per 100 kilograms and the average national market price of $136.58 per 100 kilograms multiplied ,by an average hog weight of 78.4 kilograms. Hog prices have fallen from highs in 1986 and 1987 to a low point in the current pro- duction cycle. BARRY W.
