Agreement on Crop Insurance Plan for Wheat Program
Washington officials report a government at risk crop insurance plan was agreed as part of the nyver normal granary program. President Roosevelt voiced support to start in wheat next season after talks with Senator Pope and Representative Jones. The plan aims to hold farm program costs near 500 million annually with 20 million to 80 million in funds for 1937 Soil Conservation permits and a 10 million capital for an insurance unit. Farmers would pay premiums based on risk and past data while likely losses would be paid in grain or cash. The proposal would supplement granary storage by building a wheat reserve for use during droughts or poor harvests and could extend to other crops if successful.
