BY MURRAY GAUNT M.P.P. HURON-BRU
WHAT'S IN STORE FOR
HLIRON 'COLJNTY FARMERS?
A few short weeks from. now spring planting will be
completed in HURON County. Ws hard to find a farmer
who ' is not optimistic about the outlook, for this year's
crop. In fact, farmers are so confident 1969 will be a
good year, many are investing several thousands of dol-
lars In seed, fertilizer, chemicals and ' equipment.
• Experience proves farmers have a right to be opti-
ristic. On the average, over a 20 -year Period, farmers
can ,expect to harvest a bumper crop three or four times
and a fair .to average crop on most other years. Only
about once ,or twice during a 20 -year period is there a
crop failure due to 'natural hazards.
The question arises, can the modern farmer, with
his high investment costs, afford to lose his crop even
once in 10 or 20 years? Some can, while others, can't.,
This is a question each farmer must answer for himself.
In. HURON County this year, more farmers, agri-
businessmen• and lending institutions are expressing in-
terest in Crop Insuranceas the answer to . the danger of
losing a crop due to bad weather, insects or plant dis-
ease. In this area, the Crop Insurance Commission of
Ontario has expanded both its services and the number
of insurable craps in order to take care of the need
for crop . protection.
The Hon. Wm. A. Stewart, Minister of Agriculture
and Food, who is an enthusiastic promoter of Crop Insur-
ance, urges farmers to look et Crop Insurance from .a
business point of view.
A good farmer should know what it will cost kiln 1;o
grow a crop. He should then purchase enough insurance
to cover this investment.. This amount of coverage is
quite inexpensive and gives peace of mind in knowing
that the investment is protected if the crop should be
lost because of—natural hazards.
The farmer who has definite financial commitments
to meet at the end of the year is the man who can least
afford to gamble on bad weather ruining his crops.
While. Crop Insurance is available in many countries of
the world, the program in Ontario is one of the most
attnective anywhere. This is because the Federal Gov-
ernment pays 50% of administrative costs and 25% of
the premiums, while the Provincial Government pays _the
SO% of the administrative costs plus S% of the premiums-
Consequently,lthe Insured person pays only 70%
of the claims costs, and none of the expenses of opera -
Nett. In effect, the Government bears more than half of
the total cost of the insurance program.,
