Report To The Congress

OF THE UNITED STATES





Audit Of The Financial Statements

Of Federal Crop Insurance Corporation,

Fiscal Year 1978



The Corporation reported an operating loss of
$78.2 million for fiscal year 1978, due pri-
marily to drought conditions affecting the
corn, tobacco, and wheat crops.

At September 30, 1978, the Corporation had
a deficit of $152.4 million leaving $47.6 mil-
lion from the $200 million capital the Treas-
ury invested. Preliminary estimates indicate
that premiums in fiscal year 1979 will exceed
indemnities by about $43.2 million, reversing
the trend of the last 3 years. The Corporation
is a part of the Department of Agriculture.
