We had a little frost in the low spots, took some watery canola seeds out.
I will agree that it would be nice to have the crop insurance/disaster assistance more in tune with each individual farm. The biggest problem, I believe, is that in the past, some farms felt it easier to do as little as possible and were farming to get a crop insurance payout or disaster assistance cheque. All it takes is a few nasty claims to make lifelong bureaucrats design the system to protect themselves from those insurance claims in the future. They will design a system that is black and white with little grey area for guys that really need the help.
