Ontario Crop Insurance Plan to
Offer Farmers Wider Range of Coverage
Green peas, sweet corn and
apples will be added this spring
Heavy Losses In
Crop Insurance
The tally of crop losses in
Ontario last year contains some
interesting figures, 1969 was the
worst for weather in living
memory in the southwestern
portion of the province. In-
demnities paid by the Crop
Insurance Commission of Ont-
ario for srop losses reflect this
situation. Claims paid by the
Couiniistion will amount to
over $805, 000.
The greatest proportion of
this amount went to the south-
west in payment for losses on
tomatoes, soybeans, and winter
wheat. The tomato crop loss
alone accounted for nearly
a quarter million dollars of
crop insurance claims. Tomato
insurance is based on the growers
own average yields as obtained
from records of the Vegetable
Growers' Marketing Board.
Nearly 75070 of the growers
in Kent County and a large
number in Esses County bought
insurance when it was introduc-
ed late last winter. The spring
that followed proved that buy-
ing insurance was a wise decis-
ion. A late frost required many
growers to replant, and the wet
conditions that followed resulted
in heavy losses.
Now in its third year of opera-
tion, the Crop Insurance Com-
mission is underwriting over
$7 million in crop lo
seven million in crop risks.
It is interesting to note that
very few of the losses reported
were caused by hail damage,
coverage for which is available
from private insurers. The
comprehensive protection offer-
ed under the joint Federal and
Provincial crop insurance pro-
gram covers virtually all perils
including that of hail damage.
With these three years'
experience which it now has to
go on, together with many
excellent suggestions received
from farmers, the Crop Insur-
ance commission hopes to make
improvements in some of its
existing plans as well as in-
troducing new plans in 1970.
to the list of crops insurable
through the Crop Insurance com-
mission of Ontario. This makes
a total of 13 crops covered under .
the joint Federal and Provincial
Crop Insurance program. Other
crops already insurable in Ontar-
io are winter wheat, oats, bar-
ley, mixed grain, forage,
grain corn, soybeans, white
beans, tomatoes, and potatoes.
The new apple, green pea,
and sweet corn plans introduce
several new ideas into crop
insurance. In the apple plan,
for example, not only the level
of coverage but also the pre-
mium rate is to be based on the
grower's own loss experience
over the past six years. This
plan was developed through
discussion with the Ontario
Fruit and Vegetable Growers'
Association and was unanimous-
ly approved by the Apple
Growers' Conimittee of the
Board.
In both the new green pea
and the sweet corn plans, in-
surance coverage will be based
upon the 10 -year average for
each processing plant. These
records are available through
the Ontario Vegetable Growers'
1\iarketing Board. The Crop
Insurance Commission is work-
ing in cooperation with the
Ontario Vegetable Growers'
Marketing Board and the Ontario
Food Processors' Association in
providing protection to growers
of these crops, Tlie Insurance
plan protects growers of these
crops from loss due to uncon-
trollable weather perils as well
as uncontrollable insect in-
festation and plant desease.
Wildlife daniage is also covered
in the sweet corn plan.
The Comniission will insure
only green pea and sweet corn
crops grown under contract to a
processor. In green peas, qual-
ity will be taken into account
because of the relationship
between the yield and the
tenderometer reading.
Premiums for all plans are
reduced 30010 by contributions
from the Government of Canada
and the Government of Ontario .
All administrative costs are
shared equally by the two
Governments.
