Crop insurance pays for a loss due to being unable to plant a crop in the ideal time period. The Midwest is pretty interested in getting a government funded check whenever possible it seems.

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.

Be more than happy to send you all the dry weather you can stand. We are 12 inches down for the year with no rain in sight, It hasn't rained in Ga for three months and counting. Got none of the last hurricane in the mid state. Count your blessings. My father always said "you can make a crop in wet weather but it is kinda hard to in a drought"..........

I didn't know prevent plant was available for fall seeded crops,,, in fact I don't think it is "here", as one can always plant in the spring and get a crop "next" year.

Last spring we planted a buckwheat, sunflower, and phacelia cover crop. The first week of September we rolled it flat, after some of it went to seed. Most of what you see there is buckwheat and phacelia that is volunteered.
The field was sprayed with glyphos two days ago. We will come back with Zidua when the wheat has two leaves.

I here you on this wet fall 3 weeks we almost ready to start harvesting our dry beans then got hit by the tail end of of a tropical storm or hurricane then it hasn't stopped until earlier this week. Beans are nothing but a black mess the larges are all split and the baby's might make it but will be severely water damaged most of it will have to be chopped.
We still have a field of alfalfa out there in windrows and the regrowth looks like it's ready for the last cutting. If the weather stays like this there probably won't be another.
We are about 2 weeks away from starting to plant oats and beardless wheat no Prevent plant down here as well.

I really like the idea of the spinner spreader for slugs! We don't run into much trouble in fall seeded wheat, but they sure can make a mess of a soybean crop in the spring. I'm wondering what product and rate you're using, and how long lasting is the bait?
