A spokesman for the commission said that in recent years winter wheat planting bas taken place later in the season across the Province. The extended deadline takes account of this changing cultural practice, as well as, the wet weather we have been experiencing during the past month. Last year was a record year for winter wheat insurance as piore than 2,700 contracts )eing sold to Ontario pro- lucers. If you wish to take out :rop insurance on your winter vheat, you can contact the local Crop Insurance agents, who are: Bruce Taylor, R.R. t, Enniskillen or Bev Gray, .R. 1, Port Hope. As well, we have received a summary of the çrop insur- ance sales in Durham as of September 19, 1977, from Mr. John Balamy who is Area Manager for the Crop Insur- ance Commission. There was a total of 8,220 acres of corn insured during the past year, with coverage of $859,000. Spring grain was insured on 1,520 acres, while winter wheat had insurance carried on 1,198 acres. Flue-cured tobacco growers nsured 1,540 acres ofcrops during the past year, while apple producers in the county insured 745 acres of their crop. Crop Insurance is like many other forms of insurance in that you hope when you take out the policy that it will not have to be used, but if it is needed, it is there to the benefît of the grower. As we mentioned, further inform- ation on the Crop Insurance Program can be obtained by contacting the local agents, or getting in touch with the Agricultural Office.
