Service fTfii't After the Sole
mation for the Western Area,
with headquarters in Bismarck,
N.D., indicated Tuesday that
these acres in the area have
availed themselves of the protec
tion of the federal crop insurance!
program bem offered in this
year.
Of this amount, about 3.000
acres, or about 12 per cent of the
potato acreage, have been in
sured. Rosen explained that there is a
deadline of Wednesday, May 15.
for potato insurance. He reports
farmer acceptance has been Rood
in this area and across Southern!
Idaho, another potato area.
Insurance covers any kind of
damage from natural disaster
causes and not damage due to
malfeasance or bad farming.
Such things as frost, pump fail
ures, irrigation damage and dis
eases such as verticillium will and
fusarium eumartii arc covered by
this insurance. The insurance is
on the production costs and not
on the profit factor, and the
amount of coverage varies accord
ing to acreage and quality. The
largest share of the potato cov
erage in the area, Rosen reports,
is based on 150 sacks per acre
as well as quality guarantee of
tH) per cent No. Vs.
Rosen cites the experience of
the federal corporation in the pilot
county of the west in Bingham
County, Idaho, Here, he said, the
corporation paid out $250,000 last
year while it has taken in only
$120,000 on premiums. However,
he indicated that the tables usual
ly are set up so that out of $1 in
premiums, about 00 cents is paid
out in loss claims.
Additional information on fed
eral crop insurance on spud and
small grain coverage can be ob
tained from the local ASC office
or from Emery Gentry or Don
Rohn, Crater Lake Motel.
