2010 Excess Moisture Program - File/Re-file

[riders2010]

fjlp it makes a big difference in terms of coverage, because if you have areas in your field that the crop is good and you will be overcoverage even with the drowned out areas then it is important that those drowned out areas be entitled to the establishment and the 50 as well as the 30. The areas seeded but are established but not harvestable should be treated the same as the flooded in the spring because it is the same result for the farmer, we should have the option. This would be a way to put more dollars in and it really should be the way it is all the time.

Personally wheat will not make guarentee with all acres flooded out, under water, and quality is feed, so adjustment factor there. Canola green and froze so near zero and might not be saleable. Just hope IF it must be run through combine, it dries before winter or it sounds like one has to harvest in spring.

Isn't this what crop insurance is for? Not another adhoc program that favors a few? Wish the gov would just get out of farming subsidies completely and let farmers sink or swim. Then prices would come back in line very quickly.

And so is your help booboo, your intentions were good, If nothing else good to get others thinking about how to handle their own situation.

Something more is gonna have to happen because guys in areas like ourselves we're screwed. This is a disaster needs to be treated as one. Crop lost due to flood needs to be covered and should not hurt crop insurance yields etc.

Wd9, your right if we had a good crop insurance there wouldn't have been a need for the agrivation program or other ad hoc programs, but so many people hated crop insurance that they came up with this administrative nightmare where margins follow the good weather around. People that need the money least get the most. I think it's pretty clear mother nature has shown what is the major factor in income. Agristability = Canada's Agricultural Weather Lottery.

They also should help if we cannot get the machine in the field burn the crop to at least give it a chance to dry in spring.
