Close to 6,000 new applications for insurance were received this spring, resulting in a net gain in farmer participation of more than 35 per cent over last year. Mr. Moore foresees the possibility of coverage on farm crops under the program exceeding $200 million compared with last year's record $125 million. The agriculture minister attributed the sharp increase in policyholders to several factors, one of the most important being the network of offices established throughout the province. Fieldmen, working out of 52 service offices opened by the Alberta Hail and Crop Insurance Corporation, thoroughly covered the province this year to ensure that all farmers had an opportunity of placing insurance on their crops. Previously, sales had been handled through commission agents. A number of changes have been made in the crop insurance program which Mr. Moore says provides farmers with more complete protection than in previous years. (continued) 1 Phone (403) 427-2127.
