Insurance Urged For Cotton Crop Participation in the Federal Crop Insurance Program oy Cleveland county cotton producers should e qual the number of eiigtoie produc er who are good businessmen as well as good farmers, Conrad Hugh es, Insurance Committeeman, be lieves. : "? .. ,\ "This may not be the case, how ever," he added, "-since farmers are noted for taking time to reach decis ions on anything new and have be come so accustomed to gambling with their crop investments that they just can't see how they could lose a crop until it happens to them,' The Federal Crop Insurance-policy offers the cotton farmer low-cost pro teetion of his investment in produc ing a cotton crop. While the cotton produced by far mers is insured every step of its way from the harvest field to the consu mer by those who handle and pro cess it, protection if the expenses in prodacing a cotton crop was not a vailable on an ail-risk basis until Congress provided the means of fur-i nishing this protection through fed eral crop insurance. It is obvious, of course, that the period when the risk of loss is greatest is when the crop is growing in the field and exposed to the elements. "This protection of the farmers in vestment against loss from unavoid able causes Ls a sound business pro position," Mr. Hughes says. "The av erage businessman would not be without similar protection of the in vestment from which he expects \o make a profit." "Insurance has became a basic part of business operations because losses do occure that are beyond man's control. Neither the farmer nor the businessman wants to col lect on his insurance policy ? but likewise neither wants to be with out protection when a loss occurs. And no individual knows in advance when he will sustain a loss. That's Robert H. Cooke Certified Public Accountant Tax Consultant Telephone 1000 Finance Building SHELBY. N. C.
