I'm with you, this cut wasn't big enough considering what the production side gave up. I have no problem accepting the risk my operation operates under. Then again, I also accept the fact I'm responsible for feeding any kids I bring into this world. |

As you can imagine the past spike in crop prices sent guys scrambling for acres. People broke out everything they could get their hands on. A lot of this ground is also in the middle of being flipped. The buyer is typically an out of the area investor who has never even seen the property and only cares about getting to cash the rent check on time. Share crop guys are honest for the most part here. You have to be or you'll be replaced by someone who is willing to do it right. It's the "rent and run" guys doing most the paper farming. I'm so tired of hearing "it's an insurance deal", it's not even funny. Many of these guys are hung out on outrageous 3-4 year deals that will no longer pencil, so change was probably coming with or without changes to the insurance system. There were a bunch of audits done the past two years. Most were threshold limit audits with the past two years droughts, but plenty of fields had suit and tie types in them counting populations, checking weed pressure, and estimating yields during surprise visits throughout the summer and fall. This was NEVER the case before the past few years so perhaps they are catching on. I question how serious they were though because the end of the year inspection and bushel confirmation we got the past two years was so rushed he basically took our word for it. He obviously had much bigger fish to fry though and wanted in and out of our place as fast as he could so he could get on to the next guy. |

I can't find a new solid number, but what is the average percentage of the insurance premium being subsidized? Is it going to be over 60%? If so, I'm willing to do some work there too. For every one percent of my premiums they take away I'd like to see 2% knocked off the food program side. Lets compromise and agree to keep WIC away from the slashing. Lowering the subsidy would cause the insurance companies to crack down on fraud themselves. Right now they're just riding along penciling the guaranteed money into their budget. Free money makes for lazy people, take away the free money and they'll get better at tightening their belt and the first place they'll look is to the guy they know is ****ing the system. The guys farming sand flats in Texas are the first ones to jump my ass with the "I need it to survive" line. Well, if you need the government to pay for over half of the system that allows you to keep plugging along you're doing something seriously wrong and probably shouldn't be eligible for insurance in the first place, let alone public funded insurance. If seriously subsidized insurance is already considered a must have, what is going to happen when something serious like South American getting their transportation to port system figured out or when they shut the aquifer off? |

The premium subsidy for MPCI varies with coverage levels. 70% coverage is the max, and I think it is just over half. I think 50% coverage and 85% are something like 30% subsidized. Not sure on that. Good luck on finding audits. Audits are paid for by premiums. RMA demolished over the last 3 years. What does SA or irrigation have to do with insurance? To me what needs to happen with food stamps is they need to limit it to approved UPCs after they establish financial need. That would require only decent foods could be purchased with food stamps. People could still go buy drugs/alcohol/nonsense with their McDonalds wage, but at least they're not doing it with government money. |

I have not looked at how the specifics impact my small family corn and soybean business. I manage it but a real farmer works it and I trust his judgment. He has not yet seen any direct impacts on how we have been operating. However, I fundamentally oppose the concept of an outdated Soviet style 5 year centralized plan and petitioned my senators and representative to vote no on principle and bad policy. Did'nt matter as it will become law. Last edited by Coyote; 02-05-2014 at 07:31 AM.. Reason: Poorly written quick post |

Maybe they will have like a expert who can tell us when its wet, dry, windy. You know Climate stuff farmers and ranchers can't get and don't understand without help.

I have no clue, but anything that gets strangely compared to the EPA that often in what can only be described as a vague puff piece should cause concern. I'm guessing they'll eventually end up one in the same. If the next article talked about stopping the farmer from dumping fertilizer in our rivers in the same way they discuss the coal plants pumping it into our skies... I wouldn't be surprised. The regulations are coming, but this isn't how I expected them to eventually get to them. |
