Crop insurance is the pro- tection a farmer can have to guarantee` return on his invest- ment in his crops, according to Agriculture Minister Eugene Whelan. "I urge all farmers to buy crop insurance in 1972," be said. "Losses strike every year. 'r They simply choose different victims. What happened during 1972 proved again that the best way to avoid lost income from crop disaster is through insur- wance. "Emergency cash grants from government are not the answer." About $13,000,000 was paid out to farmers on claims for the 19724' 73 crop year. Total premiums were $11,200,000, with federal and provincial governments meeting part of the cost. Claims in some areas were heavy. Wet weather in Ontario and Quebec severely damaged crops. Some farmers in seven eastern Ontario counties collected" $834,- 000 on corn losses alone. Total in- demnities paid on all crops in- sured in these counties was $952,000, while $113,000 was paid in premiums. Province -wide, 2,148 Ontario farmers collected $2,500,000 on all crops insured at premium costs of $1,600,000. In the Peace River region of Al- berta and British Columbia, wet weather during harvest was the culprit. About 4500,000 was paid to some 130 farmers on the ';British Columbia side to cover grain losses. Alberta farmers in the re- gion may receive more than 11,500,000 for grain losses ,that cost $600,000 to insure. Many of the final, payments will not be made until unharvested crops are threshed this spring. Manitoba and Saskatchewan farmers collected on frost damaged rape seed. Indemnities to Nova Scotia farmers offset -losses from an un- expectedly low apple harvest. "Claims came from every part of the country," Mr. Whelan said. "It' , is unfortunate that some farmers failed to insure their crops. I hope they will not make "the same mistake this year. I'm very pleased with the improved program being offered farmers in 1973.
