Stanley county dryland T yeild is 51, just looked it up. I agree with you.....it was rented (heard rent was less than 20 dollars an acre) and planted, on a prayer it would rain......if not we get to cover the loss. Not right! Last year I guess it remained idle (couldn't get it rented out) and owner burned it down in late July.
I don't quite get it. If I'm understanding correctly, the most that could be insured for would be about $150/acre gross revenue? That level of insurance has be expensive, and even 16K corn seeds are going to run $30 or so. Surely the tenet would have to put out some sort of nitrogen fertilizer for BMP? I don't understand how it's quite worth it to run the machinery across it for 150 gross.
It's gonna be hard to tell
