T -A photo Include reseeding benefits 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."

If his actual production is less than his - guaranteed . production. crop insurance pays for the difference at the price option chosen. 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.
