How does crop insurance work on land coming out of CRP? Hope you guys out west start getting some moisture soon. Lol, that is a good question. If wheat stays up above $7 farming it is the way to go. If we go back to $4 wheat, I'll have wished it was CRP. It is a good farm, and I elected to take it back to cropland. I'll let you know in 10 years if that was the right decision or not. Believe it or not if you kill the grass the summer before, the winter wheat crop is insurable. And I guess they know what they are doing be cause the wheat in the CRP is some of the better I have, due to better emergence. It is brown and dead on top, but I pulled some up yesterday and most of it had several green tillers at the crown. Maybe this observation will inspire you to try to keep more stubble on your cropland. (I realize that crop growth has been meager for several years in your area, but it looks like plenty of tillage was also involved in making the soil so barren.) | |
