Only if the farmer made less than $5000 on the sale of his remaining crop would the government make up the difference, the grower said. All growers canvassed said they held hail insurance contracts with private companies. Under this type of insurance the value of each acre of tobacco was determined in advance of the season, the growers said. If a farmer was insured for $300 an acre, for example, and one acre of his crop was 50 percent damaged by hail, the farmer would promptly collect $150, the growers said.
Other Areas Unprotected According to the growers, most insurance companies they contacted will not cover other causes of tobacco damage such as rust, mold or cutworms. The few insurance companies that will issue contracts to cover all types of damage charge premiums most farmers cannot meet, the growers said. Statistics released last week by the Federal Crop Insurance Corp. in Richmond, indicated that 30 insurance contracts were issued in 1963 open-field tobacco growers in this state. According to corporation officials, the decision to discontinue insurance program came in the wake of budget cutbacks.
