Linton, North Dakota corn farmer Brian Leier had a seat at Friday’s roundtable discussion, representing the North Dakota Corn Growers Association. “I’ve visited with farmers set in a corn-soybean rotation and they tell me if they don’t get their crop in, they’ll go to prevent plant.” Leier shared a few ideas to help with the short-term crop production challenges. “Do something to avoid the penalties in prevent plant. Say they only raise that 75 to 80 percent crop, where they don’t collect any insurance and take a hit on their yield, maybe we could forgive the hit on the yield for the year.”
