Governments to cooperate
on crop insurance issue
Ontario is ready to work with the federal
government to consider changes to the crop
insurance plan, Agriculture and Food Mini-
ster Jack Riddell.
"All of our programs are constantly under
review and we are always willing to make
changes," Mr. Riddell said, "None of our
programs are carved in stone. If growers have
concerns, we can make changes if it is
appropriate."
Growers representing various commodi-
ties are invited to discuss their concerns and
make suggestions for changes in the crop
insurance program each year, Mr. Riddell
said.
The federal government must agree to any
changesYffaraffartfieUSCoT o in9ui�nc�
as the program is set up under federal
legislation and Ottawa pays half the cost of
premiums. Producers pay the other half of
the premium cost, while the province pays
the cost of administering the program.
Mr. Riddell said he initiated a review of the
crop insurance program last April.
The review is being conducted by a
committee that includes representatives of
the Ontario Federation of Agriculture as well
as the federal and provincial governments.
Mr. Riddell, in Victoria, B.C. for the
Federal -Provincial Agricultural Ministries'
conference also indicated he could review,
upon his return, the presentation made by
Niagara area peach farmers who met last
week with Treasurer Robert Nixon. As well,
the Minister said he was prepared to meet the
peach farmers personally.
Recommendations of the review committee
are expected to be dealt with by the Ontario
Crop Insurance Commission at its meeting in
late September.
The commission is made of farmers
appointed by the federal and provincial
,governments while the chairman of the
rss
commr'on is Ern employee ci tine iiiiiiistry of '
Agriculture and Food.
Mr. Riddell said he expects to receive a
report from the Ontario Crop insurance
Commissions on the recommendations of the
review committee in October.
"I think we have a good crop Insurance
program that provides effective coverage for
a reasonable premium for most producers,"
Mr. Riddell said. "But there is always a need
to fine-tune and improve programs.'
Pork, chicken prices are up
Pork prices rose sharply in July for the
second month in a row, as a result of higher
prices to producers. This may have led
consumers to switch to chicken, pushing
prices for this product up also.
Higher prices for pork (8.4 per cent),
chicken (5.8). apples (8.2)and potatoes (28.7)
helped to boost overall food prices 1.3 per
cent, the largest increase since January.
Agriculture Canada economists say there
may be some levelling of prices in the coming
weeks, since the recent upward trend in hog
prices seems to have halted.
Consumers should expect to see retail
prices for potatoes and other storable
vegetables drop later this month as harvest-
