<<i had heard a report a couple of days ago that indicated some farmers might not even replant at all, instead tap the crop insurance....what do you think about that? is that a real possibility?>> Some can't because their fields are under water. Last day to get insurance was June 5. Any corn planted after May 15 loses a bushel an acre a day. With it being so wet corn will have shallow roots and if it turns off dry, kiss it good bye. 1993 it started wet and went dry. Fields that normally raised 180 bu/ac got plowed under as there wasn't enough of a crop to pay for a combine.
