There will be some updates to prevent plant coverage for farmers starting next year. According to AgCountry Farm Credit Services Vice President of Insurance and Commodity Marketing Education Rob Fronning, here’s one of the bigger changes. “In reference to when we have added land in a new county, we can use the intended acreage reports for the first two years that we farm, compared to one year previously.” There’s another big change. “We have this common problem where we have a section of land that’s too wet to plant corn so farmers decide to plant a little bit of soybeans,” says Fronning. “If farmers can prove intent for the field to be corn, you can have pp corn even though you have soybeans planted and you don’t have to prove a two crop history. That’s probably the biggest impact I see for Northern Plains farmers.”
