Abstract

This pamphlet has been especially prepared for use by discussion groups. Its purpose is to present, in brief form, some of the main considerations which need to be taken into account in setting up a system of crop insurance, and some current attitudes as to the desirability of insurance measure. The following questions are discussed: Why Shouldn't Farmers Have Crop Insurance? What Risks Did Early Crop Insurance Plans Cover? Can Some of These Risks Be Cut Out? Should Crop Insurance Cover Yields Only? How Can Premiums Be Figured? How Much of a Crop Yield Should Be Insured? Would Crop Insurance Encourage One-Crop Farming? Aren't Benefit Payments and Crop Loans Enough? Is An Ever-Normal Granary Desirable? Is Surplus Control Necessary with an Ever-Normal Granary?
