Wheat Losses Paid to Iowa Farmers Under Crop Insurance
A report from crop insurance supervisor Jess Alton of Mondamin shows 23 of 51 Iowa wheat counties have had losses adjusted, with 14 fully paid. First settlement went to R H Lee Edwards of Riverton Township, Freemont County, for 177 bushels on 17.5 acres at 60 percent share. Several others in Freemont County also received total flood losses. Additional payouts occurred in Adams, Harrison, Mahaska, Montgomery, and Wayne Counties. Weather and pests cause partial and some total losses. In 1939 the program insured 110,000 winter wheat growers with premiums totaling 8,126,000 bushels. 47,000 spring wheat growers paid 3,360,000. Policies cover 6% million acres, securing 64 million bushels for market. Premiums stored as warehouse receipts or cash.
