As sugarbeet farmers make crop insurance decisions, Countryside Insurance Agency owner Jennifer Otteson said enterprise units are now an option. For the first time, this decision can be made by county and by entity. “This should be looked at very carefully based on what you’re going to plant or where you’re going to plant each acre. It might be a good thing if you have two fields and they’re across the road from each other but if you’re spread out a lot, it might be a little scary, but something to consider.” Federal crop insurance is also adjusting high-dollar reviews to include Prevented Plating and any SCO or ECO losses. “It’s very easy to trigger a high-dollar review so that’s even more important to have your records kept well.” Countryside Insurance Agency hosted a crop insurance meeting in Reynolds.
