Red River Valley
the has been crop Insurance for a long time -- mostly non subsidized it failed
the only reason the government got into the Insurance game was because nobody else could or would write a policy at a price that made it worth buying.
some of us farmed before this current Ins. program was in place and trust me it was worthless.
Now If you want to talk about how the new Insurance program hurt farming I would jump on that bandwagon.
but to talk that the Insurance program is there so as the government can control shows just how little time you spent in Ag. before a government back insurance program was in place.
I wont join you-all to be a Pro Farmer basher
