USDA statistics show that every year one of every 14 planted acres never makes it to harvest. Secretary Block said. ‘‘Most fanners cannot afford to take such a risk on their own without insurance protection. Our new crop insurance program is a major policy change from Federal disaster programs that pay too little, to too few farmers. All-Risk Crop Insurance is a self-help assistance program that is fair to all."

This all-risk crop insurance is available through several local insurance agents. If your agent doesn’t handle it, you may obtain a list of crop insurance agents by calling the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation’s toil free number, I -800-447-4700. •
