Administration Bill For Federally Directed Crop Insurance Plan
A detailed plan for a government directed crop insurance program, starting with wheat against drought and other hazards, was submitted to President Roosevelt. Farmers would pay premiums on insured wheat, with government coverage for yields below half to three quarters, while storage and administration would be funded by federal appropriations. The proposal, backed by Secretary Wallace, aims to stabilize farm incomes though operability may begin after 1984, and earmarks high public funding to aid disaster losses over the past decade.
