Crop insurance has nothing to do with being a BTO.
The rates and coverage is the same for everyone, no matter the acreage size.
And you dont make money on crop insurance, you survive.
Oh yes it does. We could have never grown our operation as quickly as we did without crop insurance.
Crop insurance is what backs up the bank loans. Without the back stop of crop insurance bank lending for expansion would not come nearly as easily. And land prices would not be what they are.
Unless you are completely self financed, just ask your banker if it would be ok if you dropped crop insurance.
How do the BTO's get 25-35,000 acres?
