Crop insurance deadline nears
By CRAIG ROSENBAUM
County Extension Agent
Cooke County farmers have until Sept. 30 to buy multiple peril crop
insurance for their 1988-89 wheat crop. Whether or not a farmer insures his
crop depends on his level of risk tolerance — his willingness and ability to
withstand certain crop losses.
Because this year’s drought devastated crops in many parts of the
country, farmers may want to take a close look at insuring their wheat and
other small grains. In fact, farmers who applied for disaster assistance
due to losses of 65 percent or more on the past year’s wheat crop must
insure their crop for the coming year.
Multiple peril crop insurance provides some cash flow for growers who
lose thier crop or suffer severe crop damage due to hail, flooding, drought,
wind, freeze, insects or disease.
Level of coverage and premium cost are determined by a combination of
yield guarantee and price election. A farmer can choose a yield guarantee
of 50,65 or 75 pecent of past production history. And he can elect to receive
an indemnity based upon $2.25, $2.60 or $3 per bushel for his wheat if
disaster should strike, resulting in a claim for payment.
The level of coverage that a farmer selects depends on his individual
situation. A lot depends on the risk level that is acceptable to the farmer
and his financial condition.
A farm with high debt and little equity may be unable to withstand much
of a negative cash flow which would result from crop loss. A selection of the
65 perrcent yield guarantee and either the $2.60 or $3 price selection might
be the best oiption for minimizing the chance of a negative cash flow for the
high-debt farm.
Farmers needing additional information on insuring their wheat or
other small grains may want to obtain a copy of the publication, “Multiple
Peril Crop Insurance: What Is It?,” from Dr. Ashley Lovell, Texas A&M
University Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Route 2, Box 1,
Stephenville, Texas 76401; telephone (817 ) 968-4144. Also, local firms sel-
ling crop insurance may provide assistance to growers.

insuring wheat in several regions of Texas.

WASHINGTON — The tiny island
nation of Singapore has turned into
a prime market for American
poultry, particularly cut up parts of
chickens, an Agriculture Depart-
ment trade analyst says.
Peter Kurz of the department’s
Foreign Agricultural Service, until
recently the agency’s trade officer
in Singapore, said the country’s de-
cision to eliminate pig farms is be-
hind the poultry boom.
“In a drive for a cleaner
environment, Singapore has in-
creased the tempo in eliminating all
pig farms,’’Kurz said. “Since many
Singapore pig farms also have
poultry operations, the number of
poultry farms also has declined
sharply.”
Consequently, poultry production
has dropped, causing Singapore’s
poultry imports to rise to record
levels.
Kurz, who now is serving with the
USDA agency in Washington,
writes about the Singapore poultry
boom in the October issue of For-
eign Agriculture magazine.
Imports of chicken parts were up
20 percent, with the United States
accounting for more than half,
nearly 25,000 metric tons. That was
about six times the level of imports
from Thailand, the nearest rival.

cost for the winners to particpate in
their choice of either the Ntaional

Nashville, Tenn, in January, or the
NAWG Summer Leadership Con-
ference to be held in Couer d’Alene,
Idaho next July.
Any Texas wheat farmer between
the age of 20 and 35 years, who has
not previously participated in
either of the NAWG meetings men-
tioned above is eligible to enter. The
winners are selected based upon the
content of their brief 50-word essay,
explaining why they would like to
participate in a NAWG meeting.
Entry forms may be obtained by
