Agriculture Minister Sam Askiw reports Manitoba farmers bought the largest crop coverage ever this year from the Crop Insurance Corporation, paying $2.5 million in premiums for $37.66 million in coverage, down from $2.9 million for $36.93 million the year before. Loss payments remain near $1 million, with potential claims on frozen rapeseed. Next year premiums should mostly fall across 12 of 13 crops, with flax slight increases. Rates vary across 15 districts due to a new program allowing a three per cent coverage increase per year.
The Canadian Wheat Board released quota changes on Wednesday November 8 1972. Barley C and Hercules B quotas rise five and five bushels per quota acre respectively. Barley D Durum B and Rapeseed quotas increase to six bushels and three bushels for Low Erucic Acid Rapeseed. Flaxseed quota rises from six to nine bushels. All changes apply in all shipping blocks.
