[Growwine] Wind Knocks Down St. Catherine grapes

[Bert Andrews / Andrews Scenic Acres]

You are assuming that everyone has paid the very expensive insurance
premiums and that all crops are covered. Lots of crops are not covered under
the program and it is tough paying the huge premiums. My PYO apple neighbour
payed premiums for years, when he had hail, he received nothing because he
was PYO. He dropped his insurance. It would be good to hear from an
insurance claim in Ontario.

thank goodness for crop insurance which is cost shared by the Province.
THese people will receive 80% of their expected gross income on these lost
crops. 

And they don;t have to pick, pack or ship :-) 

 

While we bash the government often, it is nice to stop and think about that
fact that some of these tax dollars do come back to help us.

And I heard on the Hamilton radio that Puddicombe Farms suffered $100,000
worth of damage in a hailstorm, and that there had been a slick of ice on
the major highway as well.

 

what a shitty year in Ontario, yet I hear of drought south of us.
