Subject: RE: 60% T


Fontanelle, IA
60% of T is a newer (maybe 4-5 years ago?) provision "here" whereby "new" ground or old, established CRP ground that was broken out/put back into crop was "penalized" with 60% or T yield in year #1. after the 1st year, you could take plug yields for base.

When I first started farming, there were many acres of grass that were converted on crop insurance certification to crop at county average plug yields. High APH's in county were carried over into these "break in" areas..... basically insurance guarantees enabled "no risk/risk off" conversion to crop and also made insurance payouts (for some operators) almost a certainty. Money, Money, money...….

"Here" on the fringe of cow and crop country might be different than your "there"
