I'm just saying that PLC is basically a put that the USDA is giving you. Thus you are long a put. If you want to get paid for the value of the put upfront and forego the downside protection, you can short the put. Leaving you with offsetting positions.
If you really analyze what you have with both PLC and revenue based crop insurance, you may be in a position of collecting 2 cents for every penny the market goes down.
