Beausejour area farmers urged the Manitoba Crop Insurance committee at a January hearing to award Prairie Farm Assistance benefits to cover losses until next spring. Spokesmen for about 250 farmers argued crop failures and high costs justify insurance reform, including premiums near 2.5 percent and extended coverage for wheat, oats, and barley. Local officials and MFA members from Beausejour and nearby areas backed a national policy and talk of premises like unemployment insurance as a model.
