Abstract

As we approach the March 15 th deadline for signing up for Federal Crop Insurance there are many things to consider before producers make a decision. Obviously, the rates, weather scares, market volatility and “whatever I did last year” will play a part in producers’ decisions, but I think very few consider the real issue of their cost of production.
