Crop Insurance Plan Explained In Brief
Secretary Henry A Wallace outlines the 1939 federal crop insurance for wheat. Farmers may insure half or three quarters of average yield, with premiums higher for three quarters. The Crop Insurance Corporation will back its reserve in actual wheat and provide wheat to sell if crops fail. Premiums for three quarters run about half to one and a half bushels per acre depending on land quality. Farmers can deliver wheat to the elevator for a separate warehouse receipt or the corporation will buy enough wheat if paid in cash.
