Last week’s eUpdate referenced an article by Monte Vandeveer, K-State Agricultural Economist, that discussed Prevented Planting rules and options for producers facing wet planting conditions for their insured corn crop. A number of new developments, particularly the May 23rd announcement of additional Market Facilitation Program payments, necessitated an updated discussion of farmer options.
