There is probably a good reason, but I don't know what it is.

Ears like that will make 70 bu/acre. $4/bu X70 = $280 gross.

2 kinds of crop insurance.

County average--you collect if county down 15-20%, regardless of your crop.

Your farm average--it's based on your averages, again you have to be 15-20% below to qualify. Every time you report lower yields for payment, your average is reduced. If your amount is over certain amount, your records will be audited.

Steve, some people scam the system. They need to be reported. To qualify, farmers have a certain window to plant in (too early forfeit coverage, too late, payoff reduces) and must fertilize and treat the crop accordingly.

With $4 corn and $13 beans, no subsidies.
