Director Leo F. Crawford of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation in Springfield says dry weather and low subsoil moisture could push corn and soybean insurance application deadlines forward from the usual April 30 for corn and May 10 for soybeans. He notes the move would support the act’s self funding through farmer premiums and may delay additional sales in case of imminent disaster. Area insurance agents can provide more FCIC coverage details.
