The benefits of
crop insurance
TORONTO - As the 1995 grow-
ing season approaches, many farm-
ers who did not buy crop insurance
in the past are taking a serious
look at the protection it provides.
Two main reasons for this are:
1. Many growers who did not
buy crop insurance in the past
were concerned that they would be
underwritten too low. Now farm-
ers enroled in the Market Revenue
Program only have an average
farm yield based on four actual
yields plus one underwritten yield.
In other words, their averages are
at a level which represents their
production capability -- even more
so if you include the effect of
trending and buffering. After
1995, their average farm yield will
be based on their own production
records.
2. It just makes good business
sense to insure because crop loss
occurs every year in Ontario.
Consider the following benefits
of crop insurance:
* Growers are guaranteed up to
80 percent of their average farm
yield (85 percent for corn and 90
percent for soybeans);
* The cost of insurance to the
grower is one-half of the total pre-
mium cost;
* Administrative costs are not
reflected in premium costs;
* Premium costs are tax deducti-
ble as an operating expense; and
* Crop insurance provides de-
pendable collateral with your lend-
ing institution.
Should you join the thousands of
other farmers who have protected
their investment with crop insu-
ranee? The short answer is yes!
Crop insurance is security you can
bank on. You also won't have to
worry about the weather this year!
Renewal information
If you were insured last year, you
received your renewal information
by mail in early March. If you feel
that the coverage you selected
in1994 meets your needs in 1995,
do nothing -- you will be insured at
the same level this year. If you
want to make changes to your poli-
cy such as insuring new crops or
changing your coverage level, you
must return the Change Notice by
May 1. Change notices can be re-
turned by mail or by fax to (416)
326-3133.
Premium payment
For the majority of crops, premi-
um payment must be made by July
1, 1995. Premium payment must
accompany the Final Acreage Re-
port, which will be mailed to farm-
ers in June. The Final Acreage Re-
port must be returned by July 1,
1995. the exception to this is for-
age insurance. Forage premium
payments are due on May 1, 1995.
New applicants
If you are a new applicant or
would simply like more informa-
tion on how crop insurance will
benefit your operation, contact Sam
Bradshaw, District Co-ordinator,
OMAFRA, Clinton at (5') 482-
3428 or 1-800-265-5170. Remem-
ber, May 1 is the application dead-
line. Don't wait, make that call to-
day.
The Crop Insurance Commission
wishes all farmers the best during
the 1995 growing season.
Diane Francis
speaks in Goderich
GODERICH - One of the most
powerful and influential business
journalists in the country will speak
on the future of Canada at the
Knights of Columbus Ccntrc in
Goderich on Wednesday, April 26.
A Goderich and District Chamber
of Commerce presentation, Diane
Francis will speak on Canada 2005.
A charismatic and brazen editor
of the Financial Post, Francis is
read by millions and has become
one of the most popular speakers ;n
Canada today.
In 1992, Chatelaine Magazine
named Francis 'Woman of the
Year,' calling her "unstoppable"
for her shoot -from -the -hip, no -
holds -barred style of journalism.
Francis writes 15 different col-
umns a month, and is also the au-
thor of four bestselling books c.;,
business, including 'A Matter of
Survival,' 'The Diane Francis In-
side Guide to Canada's 50 Best
Stocks' and 'Contrcpreneurs and
Controlling Interest: Who Owns
Canada?'
Francis is also a television celeb-
rity, making more than 300 televi-
sion and radio broadcasts a year.
The secret of Francis' success is
her genuine identification with the
people on the streets or in the lec-
ture hall.
Francis has become Canada's
most popular speaker because of
her 'us -little -folks -against -the -big
guys' style of lecture. She wages a
relentless crusade against welfare
cheats, money launderers, stock ex-
change scam artists and unemploy-
ment insurance fraud: issues that
affect the middle class and its tax
dollars.
On the podium, Francis is as live-
ly and provocative as she is in
print. She is unafraid to shatter
myths or gore sacred cows. She
provides audiences with a timely
and accessible analysis of the pre-
vailing economic and political cur-
rents.
Doors open at 7 p.m. and Francis
will take the stage at 8 p.m.
For tickets to this unique event,
call 1-800-265-5594. Tickets are
also available at Marlin Travel or
Campbell's Cameras, both in Gode-
rich.
Mediated
learning
clarification
WOODHAM - In order to clear
up any misunderstandings regard-
ing the April 12 business article on
the learning and resource centre Ei-
leen Hern has opened, Hern offers
a few words of clarification.
"Traditional language based as-
sessments are not always suitable
for revealing needs. Student learn-
, ing is facilitated because parents'
view of children changes because
they enter into the learning process
of their children.
The goal of mediation is to devel-
op potential."
