Pork Producer insurance offered
HARTFORD, Ct. - Finally,
confinement-system hog
producers can help protect
themselves against catastrophic
losses with a new, comprehensive
insurance plan created by The
Travelers Companies.
Available nationally, the Pork
Producers insurance plan has won
the endorsement of the National
SPF Swine Accrediting Agency,
Inc., a national, organization that
provides sales assistance and
accreditation to hog farmers who
have healthy swine.
The Pork Producers plan offers
broad livestock coverage, that
pays farmers for the death of their
hogs by fire, storms, collapsing
buildings and vehicular accidents.
Producers also may buy extra
protection to pay them for hogs lost
to theft, dog-attacks, plus ac
cidental shootings and drownings.
In addition to normal livestock
coverage, the Pork Producers plan
How to store tomatoes
NEWARK, Del. - Home gar
deners with fruit-laden tomato
plants always dread that first fall
frost. All those lovely tomatoes lost
before they had a chance to ripen!
But with special care, that needn’t
happen, says University of
Delaware extension garden
specialist Dave Tatnall. Properly
handled, tomatoes will ripen off
the vine and keep for up to six
weeks. Here’s what to do.
Pick undamaged fruits just
before the first frost. Wash them
and let them dry before storing,

Pressure-Treated Lumber
Wolmanized pressure-treated wood and Outdoor
wood have built-in chemical protection that provides
resistance to decay and termites. This material has
been pressure-impregnated with Koppers Wolman®
CCA wood preservative which meets or exceeds
federal, state and industry specifications for this type
of wood preservative. The chemicals are fixed in the
wood and, although toxic to termites and fungi, they
are not present in sufficient quantity to be toxic to
animals.

features protection for hog suf
focation. This option replaces the
cash-market value of each insured
hog from piglets to feeder hogs
in the event of suffocation.
Travelers plan also offers the
incentive of dividends. Depending
on the plan’s loss experience,
Travelers may return to par
ticipating farmers a portion of
their premiums in the form of a
dividend.
The Pork Producers plan also
provides property and liability
coverage for producers’ farms and
homes. The plan’s property
coverage offers farmers insurance
protection for their buildings in
case of fire, vandalism, hailstorms
and a variety of natural
catastrophes. Similarly, the
liability portion offers them in
surance protection when they are
faced with lawsuits or claims that
they may be legally obligated to
pay.

Pack the tomatoes one or two
layers deep in shallow boxes or
trays and place them in a dry
basement or reasonably cool room
with subdued light.
Examine the stored tomatoes
every five to seven days, separate
fruits that show red, and use them
first. Discard any that start to
decay. With luck, you could still be
enjoying homegrown tomatoes
well into November. Tatnall says
one variety known for its ability to
store well is Burpee’s Long-
Keeper.

Wide-spaced dual wheels, an
option on 7720 and 8820 Tital II
models, allows wheels to be spaced

While this is essential for har
