Tom soon realizes that his little boarder comes from a horribly abusive home, and determines to provide him a better one. All goes well until William's mother persuades him to return to London for a few days' visit.

When Mr. Tom hears nothing from the boy after two weeks, he can endure the loneliness and worry no longer. Not Rated. Did you know Edit. Mr Tom's home is Sleepy Cottage and adjoins the Dibley vicarage, which is partially hidden by a wooden shed.

In Dibley, Harry supposedly lives at Sleepy Cottage, but a property up the lane was actually used, giving the characters more space to walk. It is a shame that with all the other detail and thought that went into the making of it, no one thought to remove or disguise the UHF television aerials on their rooves!

You would not have seen an aerial of that type on a roof until the mid 's when BBC2 came into being.

And that is in a really bad year. When farmers who purchase crop insurance suffer a loss, they usually receive their indemnity checks within 30 days of finalizing the claim. By contrast, it took the federal government three months to pass the Hurricane Sandy relief bill, and it could take months more before those funds reach the victims.

Of course, it is easy to criticize insurance after a costly disaster, which is why opponents of crop insurance, like the Environmental Working Group EWG , are jumping on the bandwagon right now. EWG is not only critical of farm policy, but farmers as well. In an unusual and catastrophic year like , there will be heavy losses and all participants will feel the pinch.

That is how all insurance works. But losses by the federal government are buffered by underwriting gains that they make during the good years. So while opponents of crop insurance criticize a policy that has been embraced by farmers, farm groups, bankers and politicians of all political stripes, it is noteworthy that critics have conveniently glossed over the fact that this policy ensures that taxpayers are never stuck with the whole tab, as they were in the era of ad hoc disaster assistance, and they can rest assured that the food production system is financially stable.

But two bad years in a row might actually turn into three. Unless the spring rains break this pattern, is starting off as an incredibly dry year for many farmers, with roughly 57 percent of the continental U. Thankfully, most of those farmers will purchase crop insurance, a. The comments were made during a panel discussion at the crop insurance industry conference in Indian Wells, California.

Curt Friesen, a member of the Nebraska Corn Board, said his son-in-law, who is currently a university teacher, is coming back to his fourth-generation farm. Crop insurance helps highly leveraged beginning farmers qualify for financing, he told the group at the crop insurance industry conference.

Mark Nichols, a cotton grower from Oklahoma agreed, adding it is important for growers of all ages. Friesen applauded crop insurers for the speed in which claims were processed following the historic drought. It makes me a lot more comfortable using Chicago Board of Trade futures to market grain.

When asked about critics attacking crop insurance, panelists were quick to defend the public-private partnership, noting its cost effectiveness and the lack of expensive taxpayer-funded ad hoc disaster legislation following the drought. Bing Von Bergen, a Montana wheat farmer and director of the National Association of Wheat Growers, also explained that in good years the government makes underwriting gains on crop insurance because farmers pay premiums.

He criticized legislative attempts to reduce crop insurance participation by attaching arbitrary benefit caps, income limits and duplicative conservation compliance mandates to the program.

Such attempts, he said, could wind up increasing premium rates for all farmers. David Finch, a claims adjuster from Tulia, Texas, noted that charges that farmers are happy to incur losses demonstrated both a misunderstanding of the nature of farmers and how crop insurance works. Todd Harris, an insurance agent from Rossville, Illinois, explained that most of the farmers in that part of the state have never had a claim of this nature. Those same critics also led people to believe that taxpayers would be responsible for nearly all crop insurance payments to farmers, which is another fallacy.

While the extent of the damage to some crops could take weeks to assess, one thing is clear: Some farmers will take a big loss. Loss is common in agriculture, and there has been a lot of it lately, though most of it was not here in California. In , we saw a freeze in Florida that hit the citrus crop, then Midwestern droughts, floods in the South and even hurricanes.

Last year started off looking like a banner year but morphed into the worst U. Much of the Midwest is still suffering. Thankfully, most farmers are protected by crop insurance, a backstop for when the bottom falls out. Crop insurance helps farmers manage risk.

It combines the public sector with the competitiveness of the private sector. Farmers buy policies that are partially underwritten by the government, but the private sector services the policies and pays off when the farmers takes a loss. For many farmers, particularly the thousands who grow specialty crops, crop insurance is the only risk-management tool available.

Those who say farmers are getting rich off crop insurance, do the math. If a farmer loses his entire crop to disease or disaster, many could go under without a backup plan. That plan is crop insurance. It was first introduced after a devastating freeze in Initially, growers were hesitant to spend large sums for protection. But participation has grown over time as premiums dropped. The growth of crop insurance is a testament to the market and the dedication and professionalism of those who service the plans.

But there are those in Washington who will take the failure to pass a four-year farm bill and use it as an opportunity to eviscerate crop insurance. Every day I speak to California farmers, who, like farmers elsewhere, are worried about what would happen if their only risk management tool is weakened or eliminated. Sixty percent of our farms are less than 50 acres, just one indicator of the growing number of specialty crop operations. California needs specialty crops, and specialty crops need insurance.

This op-ed appeared in the Modesto Bee on February 8, The area of the continental U. Drought Monitor. Although one of the biggest stories in agriculture in was the intense drought and heat wave in the southern plains that seared crops and eventually led to widespread wildfires, only about 24 percent of the continental U.

The year , by comparison, started off quite a bit drier, with roughly 38 percent of the continental U. The drought was the largest weather story of the year, and caused deep losses for farmers. Looking ahead, unfortunately, the persistence of drought throughout a good portion of the heartland remains a definite possibility.

According to the U. So while farmers are surely praying for rain, it also helps that they can manage their risk through the purchase of crop insurance. Drought parched much of Tennessee, where he farms about 4, acres planted to cotton, corn, soybeans and wheat. The drought forced farmers like Patterson to switch crops from the flagship cotton to soybeans, which requires less agricultural inputs.

Corn yields took the biggest hit during the year-long drought. Tennessee is a major producer of cattle and is a key grower of crops like cotton and soybeans. The western portion where Patterson farms is prime land fed by the flood plains of the Mississippi River. This area is largely devoted to soybeans, wheat, corn, cotton and sorghum. Crop insurance has been a much-needed lifeline for Patterson and other farmers like him. Crop insurance has allowed them to survive drought, floods and other disasters that form part of the natural landscape farmers must contend with on a yearly basis in much of the U.

For farmers in Texas, was the worst drought in a century. For farmers in Louisiana, the program was critical in when they endured the double-barreled disaster brought on by hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

For farmers in Tennessee and in much of the Midwest, the drought of was the worst in 25 years. And while crop insurance only covers a percentage of the loss in most cases, the money provides the much-needed infusion to help farmers survive until the next season.

For his part, he has filed the paperwork to receive insurance claims for cotton crops that had to be switched to beans. The insurance adjuster has visited his farmlands and reviewed his paperwork, which includes a history of his yield production. Patterson says that crop insurance is a key component of the farm safety net and a major feature in ongoing Farm Bill discussions.

These comments reflect the sentiment of many farmers and lawmakers from across the country who have strenuously argued that a viable crop insurance program is essential for the future of U. The ongoing discussions about resolving our national debt continues to provide plenty of fuel for those who wanted to torch a key aspect of farm policy, crop insurance. With crop insurance, farmers only receive an indemnity when there is an insurable loss. In the past, the aid from disaster packages could take up to 18 months to reach the farm community.

Not in all cases, but many drought-stricken farmers receive indemnity checks within weeks of filing a claim. With the current program, farmers, crop insurance companies and taxpayers all share in the cost of the program. Crop insurance is a better solution. The current public-private partnership that is our modern crop insurance system was designed to minimize taxpayer risk exposure and speed assistance to farmers when they suffer loss.

Private insurers help shoulder the loss in bad years and have a sophisticated infrastructure to deliver assistance to farmers when they need it most. A strong, viable crop insurance policy, which has helped rural America recover from back-to-back natural disasters in and , is part of the reason behind that success. Not to miss an opportunity to chime in, a January 20 Washington Post editorial also let fly a salvo against crop insurance and the farmers who purchase it.

That would certainly be the situation under the old paradigm of ad hoc disaster legislation. Second, participating insurance companies will lose money in because total payouts will exceed premiums collected and the companies share in the losses.

The final cost is still unknown, though it could be in the billions of dollars. Vickers was raised on a cattle and wheat farm in northwest Oklahoma.

In , she joined Ed Jaenke and Associates as a congressional lobbyist. In , Ms. In , the Act was passed by Congress which allowed the private sector to begin selling and servicing federal crop insurance policies. Linda went to work for the National Association of Crop Insurance Agents in early as a lobbyist for the crop insurance program. She stayed in the private sector and eventually began working for Rural Community Insurance Services and all its predecessor organizations until December 31st, , when she retired.

She was integral in shaping, drafting and eventual passage of all major pieces of farm legislation, in particular, crop insurance legislation, including the Federal Crop Insurance Act of , and , and the Agricultural Risk Protection Act ARPA of Vickers spent many hours educating Congressional members, as well as their staff, on the benefits of a sound multi-peril crop insurance program. Crop Insurance. Linda has been married to Gene Vickers, an international agriculture consultant, since , and they currently live on the Oregon coast.

Twelve states have loss ratios of at least 1. The highest loss ratio states are in the heartland, with the top five states including Illinois at 2. To date, most of the crop losses are to corn and soybeans, with corn producers accounting for 59 percent of all indemnities paid and soybeans accounting for roughly 12 percent. Cotton, wheat and grain sorghum make up the other top five crop losses. While most of the losses nationally can be attributed to the record drought of , other parts of the country suffered from other weather anomalies.

The spring freeze that damaged crops in New England and the upper Midwest resulted in high losses in many apple orchards, with loss ratios in New Hampshire coming in at 1. Nationally, the loss ratio is 1. Unlike disasters of the past however, the private sector is paying for a significant portion of the bill. And while the data is still not in, private sector losses from will almost certainly be in the billions of dollars.

More than 60 percent of the continental U. USDA has already designated counties in 14 states as primary natural disaster areas due to drought and heat, making all qualifying farm operations eligible for low interest emergency loans. In , the drought in Kansas was in its second year, and wheat, corn and soybean farmer Paul Penner was just trying to survive to the next season. It has given him and his wife, Deborah, the means and security to plan ahead and prepare for another year should the drought persist.

In , the Penners had a 75 percent insurance coverage plan for wheat crops and 70 percent coverage for fall crops, such as corn, soybeans and sorghum. Penner has been covered by crop insurance policy for more than 25 years now. The insurance helps him recover part of his losses.

The insurance pays me a certain percentage of the revenue I have lost. Insurance estimates are based on actuarial history of crop yield and the price of the commodity, among other parameters. Premiums could be higher for one crop per acre than the other. Filing is straightforward process. A farmer reports his losses to the crop insurance agent, and the insurance company will then send an adjuster to verify the claims based on established guidelines. The farmer and the adjuster will work through production data sheets.

Once approved, help is on the way. His agent is a local, family-owned company with businesses around the Midwest. The premium varies year to year. Like many in Kansas, Penner was born to farm. Kansas ranks sixth in farm exports. Beef, grain sorghum, and wheat — introduced to the state by the early Russian Mennonite settlers — are the major products.

Hillsboro, where Penner Farms is located, has a population of about 3, And while tropical storm Isaac brought us some much-needed rain, every county in the state remains in some level of drought. As a Missouri farmer, I can tell you that there are few disappointments in life bigger than losing a crop. The loss not only robs you of the income that it should bring — especially with commodity prices at record highs — but also robs you of the joy of the harvest, which is what we farmers are all about.

And when they happened in the past — before crop insurance was widely available and affordable for most farmers — Congress responded with expensive ad hoc disaster bills. Last year, although conditions here were fairly good, there was a string of natural disasters across the rest of the country — from freezes to floods to hurricanes and even wildfires — that left many farms in shambles. This is a great example of the federal government and the private sector working hand in hand for the common good of the country and the food, feed, fuel and fiber supply.

In this unique partnership, farmers purchase crop insurance policies — that are partially underwritten by the federal government — and they only receive an indemnity if they incur actual losses. The crop insurance system is efficient, because it is sold, serviced and delivered by the private sector. Agriculture is certainly a very risky business, which means that banks are often hesitant to lend to farmers, particularly those who are just starting off.

But farmers who purchase crop insurance are deemed a much lower risk by the banks, who count the crop insurance indemnity as collateral for the loan. As disagreeable as things might seem sometimes in Washington, D. Of course, there are those who would like to see all farm programs cut, either because of their dislike of government spending or their dislike of family farming.

They charge that farmers would rather collect a crop insurance indemnity than harvest a crop. Imagine if a similar charge was leveled against someone who purchased car insurance.

Can anyone really believe that people purposely crash their cars to collect the indemnity? But there are things that we can count on. Eighty-six percent of all planted U. But many would argue that private sector crop insurance agents, who operate largely on commission for the policies they sell, should be included in that list as well.

Ruth Gerdes, a farmer and crop insurance agent from Auburn, Nebraska, nearly lost the land that she and her husband were farming 28 years ago and decided that other farmers needed to learn more about the benefits of crop insurance to avoid a similar brush with foreclosure. Gerdes explained that agents, who are often farmers, or have farmed themselves, take great pride in their work and want their customers — the farmers — to be happy with both the insurance products they purchase as well as the service the agents provide.

In , some 1. While 84 percent of the polices sold covered corn 34 percent , soybeans 31 percent and wheat 19 percent , policies were also written for specialty crops including cherries, almonds, cranberries and avocados.

According to the December 11, U. Drought Monitor, nearly 62 percent of the continental United States remains in some stage of drought. Forty-three percent of that area is considered to be in severe, extreme or exceptional drought.

Should this weather pattern continue, many farmers would start off the growing season with lower soil moisture contents than they had in Persistence of existing drought, or the development of new drought areas are expected in Texas.

The long dry spell is already taking its toll on the winter wheat crop. The ongoing drought is pushing water levels in the Mississippi so low that portions of the river south of St. Louis might have to be closed to shipping soon. Every county in the state of Iowa is experiencing severe or extreme drought conditions, according to the U.
