rbicide.
Annual grasses, particularly Green
Foxtail, are the reasons you need
Ekko in a corn-after-corn operation.
Ekko is a safe, economical,
one-package herbicide that saves you
work while controlling broadleaf
weeds and grasses,
Ekko offers the same flexibility of
application times you've been
accustomed to with AAtrex: pre-plant
incorporated, pre-emergence and
post-emergence in an oil-water
emulsion.
And Ekko is safe to corn and is
effective right up to the three-leaf
stage of grasses.
Ekko was designed to give
season-long control of grasses in
continuous corn operations, so only
corn can be planted the year follow-
ing application.
A suggested method of controlling
grasses is to plan on two years
of corn. Use Ekko the first year and
AAtre>e, combined with a short-
residual grass herbicide. the second
year. Then, your field will be ready
for a change of crop in the third year.
Ekko. The convenient, easy-to
use, one-package corn herbicide
that prevents grass build-up and
gives you clean fields right up to
harvest.

experience. If his actual
production is less than his
guaranteed production, crop
insurance pays for the difference
at the price option chosen.
The costs of the reseeding and
replant benefits are included in
the farmers premium rates
quoted. The final date for
renewals and new application is
May 1, 1975.
Over $5,500,000 has been paid
to field corn producers in Ontario
as a result of the 1974 crop.
Although all claims have not
yet been paid because some crops
are still left in fields, crop in-
surance payments of $5,584,832
have gone out to 1969 claimants.
This represents a loss of over
$3,700,000 on the corn fund for the
1974 crop year.
Total premium income on corn
was just over $1,850,000, one half
of which came from farmer
premiums. In other words, the
4544 farmers who participated in
the crop insurance plan for corn
paid $925,090 in premiums on
contracts which resulted in corn
claims of over $5.5 million.
These large claim payments,
which compare with $932,000
paid on the 1973 corn crop, are a
direct result of the adverse corn
season in 1974. A cool, wet spring
resulted in most of the corn being
planted late, much of it early in
June, Following that were early
killing frosts in September so that
the corn did not properly mature.
As a result Ontario corn
producers experienced what may
well be the worst crop year in
memory.
Crop insurance premiums are
established so that each crop plan
is self-sustaining in the long
term, The premium rates for
corn for the 1975 crop year have
not been increased as a result of
the heavy 1974 losses. However,
because of the he'lvy claim
payments in 1974 and because of
the steadily increasing costs.
Some important revisions have
been made in the crop insurance
plans for corn, spring grain and
beans to allow farmers to cover
their increasing costs of
production. According to
spokesmen from The Crop
Insurance Commission of the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food, reseeding benefits
have been introduced, the in-
demnity for unseeded spring
acreage has been increased, and
higher price options are being
offered for the 1975 program,
A reseeding benefit of $15 per
acre is part of each of the
general spring crop plans
purchased in 1975, This in-
demnity will be paid on insured
crops whenever it is necessary,
because of an insured peril such
as too much rain, to reseed 3
acres or more, The payment will
be made regardless of whether
the farmer seeds back to the
same crop or seeds to a different
crop.
The payment on unseeded
acreage or "preplant coverage"
was introduced in 1973, to provide
some indemnity to the farmer not
able to get all his intended spring
seeded acreage planted. This
benefit is now worth $9-$36 per
acre depending on the production
level on the farm, compared with
a $6-$24 range offered last year.
A veteran of farmers wars with
Ontasio Hydro urged ,Hurort
County farmers Tuesday night to
launch a three-pronged attack in
a bid to halt a proposed nuclear
generating station in the county.
George Underwood, a Turn-
berry Township beef and chicken
farmer, said farmers should
voice their views at the recently-
announced public discussions of
Hydro's long range plans,
publicize the economic im-
portance of agriculture and
support strong land use policies
aimed at preserving farmland.
Mr. Underwood, a member of
the Concerned Farmers of the
United Townships which altered
Hydro's land acquisition policies
in the northern part of the county,
told a meeting inHolmesville that
farmers should oppose any at-
tempt to remove class one and
two land from agriculture for a
generating station.
He said farming in the county is
"big buOness" producing more
than $100 million worth of
agricultural goods annually.
In addition, he said, Huron
farmers own about $50 million in
agricultural equipment.
He said the decline of farming
would produce serious con-
sequences in the county
economically.
Estimates have put the amount
of land leaving agricultural
production at between 26 to 43
acres an hour in the province, he
said.
Reeve Gerry Ginn of Goderich
Township said area farmers are
keeping Hydro's plans for a
Huron generating station "in the
back of their minds,"
Opposition to a prop ed
station temporarily deferr Ali the
ADA
Heating & C
Also, the 5-acre deductible on this
benefit has been replaced with a
3-acre minimum.
Higher price options on corn,
spring grain, and soybeans have
been added to allow participating
farmers to cover their rising
input costs. The top price option
on corn is now $2,60 per bushel at
a farmer premium of $4.40 per
acre; with options at $1.95 per
bushel for $3.30 per acre, and
$1.30 per bushel for $2.20 per
acre. On soybeans the highest
price option for 1975 is $5 per
bushel at a farmer's premium
cost of $3,25 per acre.
Soybean growers may choose
to insure at $4 per bushel for $2.60
per acre or $3 per bushel for $1.95
per acre. Farmers growing oats,
barley, spring wheat or mixed
grain may insure under the
spring grain plan for either 4
cents per pound at $3 per acre, 3
cents per pound for $2.25 per acre
or 2 cents per pound for $1.50 per
acre, This year 3 price options
are available for white beans and
colored beans. Prices are 15 cents
per pound at $6 per acre, 11 cents
per pound at $4.40 per acre, and
7 cents per pound at $2,80 per
acre.
Under the crop insurance
plans, a farmer is guaranteed a
certain level of production
depending on his yield and claim
plant in Hydro's immediate
'plans, he said "and the only way
'We can keep deferring it is by
keeping together as a unit."
About 25 area farmers attended
the meeting sponsored by the
Huron Federation of Agriculture.
