C.P.;

By the way... we are in the final negotiation stage... on a web based weather based insurance product... sold by privates... hopefully to be in place for the 2009 crop in some parts of western Canada. If not this crop year... then 2010. Who do you guess has been the most difficult party to deal with... in implementation of this new product? Why do you think they resist these new options?

Hi Tom
I saw a presentation on the weather based private insurance early last year. It seems like a good option for certain crops. The only thing I didn't see was the premium cost etc. I would be interested in seeing that presentation again now that it sounds like it is closer to implementation. Is there someone who would present the updated program?

Are you comming to wpg the first week of Feb for the Risk Management working group Tom?
Hope to see you there
