Changes in crop insurance
Some important revisions have
beim rnade in the crop insurance
plans for corn, spring grain and
beans to allow farmers to cover
their increasing costs bf
production. According to
spokesmen from The Crop
Insurance Commission of the
Ontario Ministry of" Agriculture,
and Food, reseeding benefits
have been introduced, the in-,
demnity for unseeded spring
acreage has been increased, and
higher price options are being
offerecPfor the 1975 program.
A reseeding benefit of $15 per
-acre is part of each of the
general spring crop plans
purchased in 1975. This. in-
demnity will be paid on insured
crops whenever it is necessary,
because of;gn insured peril such
as too much rain, to reseed 3
acres or more. The payment will
be made regardless of whether
the farmer seeds back to the
same crop or seeds to adifferent
crop. •
The payment on unseeded
acreage or "preplant coverage"
was introduced ini1973, to provide
some indemnity to the farmer not
able to get all his intended spring
seeded acreage planted. This
benefit is now worth 59-536 per
acre depending on the production
level on the farm, compared with
a 56-524 range offered last 'year
Also, the 5 -acre deductible on this
benefit has been replaced with a
:3:acre minimum.
Higher price options on corn,
• spring grain, and soybeans have
been added to allow participating
farmers to cover, their rising
input costs. The top -price option
on corn is now 52.60 per bushel at.
a farmer premium of $4.40 per
acre: with options at 51.95 per
bushel for 53.30 per acre, and
51.30 per bushel for $2.20 per
acre. On soybeans the highest
price option for 1975 is 55 per
bushel at a farmer's premium
cost of 53.25 per acre.
Soybean growers may choose
to insure at $4 per bushel for,$2.60
per acre or 53 per bushel for $1.95
per acre. Farmers growing oats,
barley. spring wheat or mixed
grain may insure under the
spring grain plan for either 4
cents per pound at -53 per acre, 3
cents per pound for $2.25 per acre
or 2 cents per pound for 51.50 per
acre. This_year 3 price options
are available for white beans and
colored beans. Prices are 15 cents
per pound at 56 per acre, 11 cents -
per pound at 54.40 per acre, and
7 cents per pound at 52.80 per
acre.
Under the crop rtnsurance
plans„a farmer is guaranteed a
certain level of production
depending on his yield and claim
Urges Huron farmers
to oppose nuclear plant
A veteran of farmers wars with
Ontkrio Hydro urged . Hurct
County farmers Tuesday night to
launch a three -pronged attack in
a bid to halt a proposed nuclear
generating station in the county.
George Underwood. . a Turn-
berryownship beef and chicken
farme� said farmers•ashould
voice their views at the recently -
announced public discussions of
Hydro's long range plans,
publicize the economic im-
portance of agriculture and
support strong land use policies
aimed at preserbing farmland.
Mr. Underwood, a member of
the Concerned Farmers of the
•United Townships .which altered
Hydro's land acquisition policies'
in the northern part of the county,
told a meeting inHolmesville that
farmers should oppose any at-
tempt to remove class one and
two land from agriculture for a
generating station.
He said farming in the county is
"big business" producing more
than 5100 million worth of
agricultural goods annually
In addition, he said, Huron
farmers own about $50 million in
agricultural equipment.
He said the decline of farming
would produce serious con-
sequences in the county
economically.
Estimates have put the amount
of land leaving agricultural
production at between 26 to 43
acres an hour in the province. he
said.
Reeve Gerry Ginn of Goderich
Township said area farmers are
keeping Hydro's plans for a
Huron generating station -in the
back .of their minds."
Opposition to a prop ed
station temporarily deferrr the

insurance pays for the difference

The costs of the reseeding and
replant benefits are included in
the farmers premium rates
quoted. The final date for
renewals- and new application is
May 1, 1975. .
Over 55,500,000 has been paid
to field corn producers in Ontario
as a result of .the 1974 crop.
Although all claims .have not
yet been paid because some crops
are still left in fields. crop in-
surance payments of 55.584.832
have gone out to 1969 claimants.
This represents a loss of over
53.700.000 on the corn fund for the
1974 crop year.
Total premium income on corn
was just. over 51.850.000. one half
of which came from farmer
premiums. In other words. the
4544 farmers who participated in
the crop insurance plan for corn
paid $925.000 in prcrrrTituns on
contracts which resulted in corn
claims of over 55.5 million.
These large claim payments,
which compare with 5932.000
paid on the 1973 corn crop. are a
direct result of the adverse corn
season in 1974..:1 cool. wet spring
resulted in most of the corn being
planted late, much of it early in
June. Following that were early
killing frosts in September so that
the corn did not properly mature.
As a result Ontario corn
producers experienced what may
well be the worst crop year in
