Crop Insurance Program FARMER: Why can't I insure just one" of my crops? COM; ' The cost of insuring just onecrop as compared to the cost of Multiple Insur ance fe too high in Perquimans Coun. As .an example, on f the average farm the cost on peanuts is more than twice the cost as a single crop as compared when insured as a multiple crop. On corn it is three times as high; on cotton it -is ten times as high; and on soybeans h is five times as high. " , .' " FARMER: What will my premium cost? , , . , J , CUM: This cannot be figured now because it is, based on the numfier of acres) yon, grow of each crop insured. This will be figured after you have planted your' crops and made a report to the County PMA Committee. Your premium wfll . ". . .. f- be approximately 3 per cent of your coverage, a little more or less depending on;. A the crops you plant. On a farm growing 18 acres of corn, 18 of soybeans,. 4 v of cotton, and 7 acres of peanuts the premium would be $30.03 on $ii33Sor ' , :- coverage, or 2.2 per cent, which would be about the4owest in die county. On " a farm growing 20 acres of corn, 20 acres of soybeans, arid 8 acres of pea-; nuts with no cotton, the premium would be $42.55 with coverage of $1,271.00. FARMER: ; COMi AAV. Why pay a "premium when I have never had a loss? The fact that a house has never burned down is no reason that it will not burn dowi tomorrow. The fact that you never had anautoirjAiewreck is. io rea-. son that you will not have one tomorrow. ' The fact thai astorm has never hit -your farm is no reason that one will not hit your farm in the middle of the growing season this year. Insurance is based on what may happen in the fu ture and not what has happened in the past. .: FARMER: Does the Multiple Crop Insurance . Program encourage poor farming methods so that a lazy farmer would collect a loss? , " . , COM: No. The insured must carry on good farming practices as are carried on in ; the neighborhood. He must plant good seed, cultivate" properly (weafther per , mitting), use insecticides where necessary and is expected .to prevent a loss where reasonably possible. , Some farmers who failed to do these things . in" 1949 and 1950 have been declared ineligible to be insured in 1951 and have been cancelled out for 1951. In adjustment of some claims some farmers have 4 been penalized for not carrying out good farming practices. Don't Delay - Apply Today For Crop Insurance At THE P. M. A.
