I know lots of people on this forum want the usda programs for farmers gone but I have evaluated this in my little gig and the end of subsidized insurance would be the end for me in this part of the world. Our rain fall amounts are shy of what you guys in the corn belt get.....and its volatile to say the least.
I have farmed all my life and adjusted crop insurance claims in a 800 mile radius of where I live. Subsidized crop insurance is important and essential in every area as a safety net for the farmers to be able to take the risk of putting out 500-800 dollars an acre on corn and beans. The taxpayer subsidy provides cheap and plentiful food supply. |
