Crop Insurance Balance Remains With Half Million In Cheyenne
Arlo Jones of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation says Cheyenne County farmers will receive new policies by mail covering the 1959 crop year with explanatory letters. The program began in 1939 with varied premiums and indemnities, the best year 1942 with no losses and the worst 1952 losses totaling over 313 thousand dollars. Current county credit balance stands at 551 thousand dollars. Individual balances can trigger premium cuts, and seven consecutive loss-free years yield a 25 percent discount. Most farms store surplus wheat, affecting participation likelihood.
