The projected Emergency Relief Program payment levels are a disappointment for Minnesota Soybean Growers Association President Bob Worth. “The way it stands now, unless you are an underprivileged farmer, you’ll get about ten percent of what you were supposed to get.” Worth hopes to see more emphasis on expanded crop insurance options in the new farm bill rather than ad hoc disaster programs. “If our ag committees look at what they spend on ad hoc programs and put that into the crop insurance, they could have a really nice federal crop program.”
