| 1. Be thankful for the crop insurance program we have in the US and let your congressman know how important it is. EWG and others have been successful in getting the Senate to tie Crop Ins to conservation compliance. Also trying to cap Crop Ins subsidies for individual farmers. Fight for what we have!
2. Don't harvest any corn until it dries to 15% in the field. Harvest losses mean nothing but drying expenses are on your dime. Unless you have GRIP, GRP etc.
3. Protect price. If it appears prices are peaking, get some puts in place to protect against loss of revenue.
4. For any coc acres in '13 test for residual N.
5. Cut back P and K for '13 based on removal rates.
6. Review your risk management choices for '12 and readjust if necessary.
7. Even though it is not as much fun as reading high yields on the yield monitor, keep in mind that your insurance guaranty may be better than your average yield x $4.00/bu if everyone had a great crop.
8. Take the family on a vacation and just quit looking at it for a few days and enjoy what's really important in life. | |
