Choices for drenched farmland extend planting deadline
Farmers unable to plant corn due to saturated soils weigh options under federal programs. The corn planting deadline for feed grains and crop insurance has been extended to Monday. Many consider planting soybeans and inquire about the C 92 program which pays 92 percent on unplanted acres, with new rules allowing crop insurance payments. Farmers should visit their CFSA office before planting a subsequent crop, with prevented planting requests accepted June 6 to June 20 and insurance notifications due by June 8.
