[QUOTE="johnr, post: 176858, member: 395"] The federal government subsidizes crop insurance premiums to lower the cost and create an affordable option for the farmer. They select which policy they want depending on coverage and cost, then the farmer gets billed for his acreage that he insured. The subsidy never gets into the actual producers hands, his premium is just partially taken care of. If this wasn't an option, a vast majority of producers would be unable to afford it, and this would risk our countries food supply mores so than the expense of the program. A farmer does not have a choice on the subsidized premiums, it is built into the policy, and even if GST didn't want a percentage of his policy to be covered in the farm program, he has no choice. I don't farm, but I cant understand when people try to make it sound like a farmer is somehow "living on the system" for something they cant control. [/QUOTE]
