I read and reread a lot of the conversations regarding crop insurance. when I get my actual ppremium cost, good chance that I will use coups advice.

My problem is the cost to tax payers for the whole thing. I get taxpayer subsidized crop insurance but everyone should not have taxpayer subsidized health insurance?? Its no wonder the government is broke. Who is getting subsidized?? The farmer? The insurance company? The banker? The landlord? Ill guess with you.

My opinion (stated here several times) is the only crop insurance option should be the old multi-peril "yield guarantee". With multiperil you are insured on just your history. Not the other producers in the county. The revenue protection is just to good to be true. everybody wins. Maybe rma's goal is to offer so many different prducts that the insurance exposure is less. My other suggestion comes from a months ago agtalk discussion. Everyone can get the subsidized protection on say the first 20% of your acres or an arbitrary number like 400 acres. after that no insurance and we're on our own.
