freeze and wind damage.
The service operates like
any other insurance plan,
with fanners paying yearly
premiums based on local
crop production and loss
history and with payments
for loss being paid from this
premium fund.
“This means,” explained
Secretary Butz, “that the
premium payment of a
Kansas wheat farmer who
has a good crop helped pay
for the crop investment lost
by a Texas citrus grower
. whose grove was damaged
by freeze. In other years, the
procedure may be reversed,
with money from citrus
premiums going to a
drought-stricken area of
Kansas.
“This is a cooperative
program,” Mr. Butz said,
“which helps growers take a
businesslike approach to the
problem of protecting their
capital' investments, their
credit and their community
economic strength. When
crop damage hits an area, it
hurts everyone for miles
around - merchants,
equipment dealers, bankers -
every business and
profession feels the loss.
Federal Crop Insurance is
meant to put money back
into a community when
weather, insects or disease
have severely reduced the
area’s major source of in
come. Thus, the higher the
percentage of insured far
mers in each county, the
greater the protection of the
economic stability of the
area, the state and the
nation.”

Index
Falls 4%
The May 15 Index of Prices
Received by Pennsylvania
Farmers was down 4 percent
from mid-April according to
the Crop Reporting Service.
Lower prices for
meat animals, wheat, milk,
poultry and poultry products
more than offset higher
prices for milk cows and
lambs. The index was' 16
percent above a year ago.
Nationally, the Index of
Prices Received by Fanners
decreased by 4 percent.
Contributing most to the
decrease since mid-April
were lower prices for cotton,
hogs, cattle, wheat, eggs and
calves. Higher prices for
potatoes, hay and can
taloupes were only partially
offsetting. The index was 7
percent above a year earlier.
