Prevent plant on corn or soys is when fed crop says you have this normal planting window. If you plant later then this you lose coverage of 1% per day as we think there's a proven statical chance your yields are gonna suck so bad you'll likely have a payment.
Or once the late plant period comes you can take a 60% payment of the revenue you originally insured and leave the ground unplanted.
If your the only one claiming prevent plant it's likely the Fsa office is going to deny your claim. If you had above average rain fall over a wide area it's prob everyone is having the same issues as you.
Here 2015 we had major issues of prevent plant.
It's a controversial part of crop insurance but if you've got an above average APH it makes since when it is a muddy mess at planting time. The soil picking up on your tractor and drill here would be packing the crap out of the ground that would cause issues for multiple crop years.....
The low crop price doesn't help motivate the farmer to plant. If you don't have higher levels of coverage or a low APH the prevent plant is not gonna work for you and you have distain for the guys who it did.
