The in- crease in the amount of indemn- ity for early losses will also help make the plan much more attract- ive to the wheat producers. The new method of setting the insurable value of the crop will permit our agents in the field to underwrite each individual risk within the guidelines laid down and, at the same time, allow the better farmers to purchase more adequate coverage, " he added.

Changes in Wheat Insurance Plan The Crop Insurance Commission of Ontario this week announced several important changes in its Winter Wheat plan which will be- come effective with the 1970-71 crop year. Present regulations under the Crop Insurance Act only permit indemnity based on a bushel vol- ume of guaranteed production with no allowance for loss of grade caused by one or more of the per- ils insured against. The Commis- sion has now amended the Regul- ations to permit a farmer, at his own option, to insure for any grade loss so incurred below Grade 3 C. E, In event of a claim in- volving such loss of grade, the insured's actual production will be discounted by 15% to compen- sate for his additional loss. In addition, the indemnity for losses occurring before June 15 has been increased from 30% of the production guarantee to 50Tjo. Formerly, optional coverage wa: available to a level of 50, 60, 70 or 80'/o of a farmer's average yield The 60/0 level is being discontin- ued. The 807o level of coverage will only be available to present contract holders, or new contract holders after they have establish- ed two crop years' experience in the plan. New applicants will no longer be required to submit their yield records for the past five years. The Commission is establishing "bench mark" yield figures for each county with an upper limit which will permit its underwriters to give some consideration to the productivity of the farm and to the management ability of the operator. Each year a new contract hold- er completes harvesting, his act- ual yield will be substituted fox one year of his bench mark yield figures, so that after five years of participation the amount of coverage for which he can insure will reflect his actual average farm yield. Henry Ediger, general manager of the Crop Insurance Commission, comments, "Since the unusual incidence of sprouting in winter wheat last year, we felt it would be desirable to include a grade loss or quality factor in the plan ere you can Trade wi lh co,u4hnce n WHEAT CONTRACTS AVAILABLE IN THE SEED 'WHEAT OF YOUR CHOICE! • YORKSTAR • TALBOT GENESEE We can also supply your FERTILIZER REQUIREMENTS "TRADE WITH CONFIDENCE" TRADE WITH COOK'S DIVISION OF GERBRO CORP. 262-2605 HENSALL Winter Wheat Insurance important changes All licensed varieties to be considered:.
