Crop Insurance
Rising input costs and uncertainty about next year's crop prices mean more farmers should consider the Supplemental Coverage Option and Enhanced Coverage Option for 2022, said Steve Johnson, retired Iowa State University Extension farm management specialist. December futures for corn and soybeans are running higher than the spring prices for both crops this year, so "farmers ought to be celebrating," added Johnson.
Farmland
Farmers National Co. sold a record amount of farmland during its fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, with the most activity taking place in Iowa, followed by North Dakota, Kansas, and eastern Nebraska, said Randy Dickhut, Farmers National's senior vice president of real estate. Absentee farmland owners are motivated to sell due to high market values, and cropland rated good-to-excellent is netting premium prices, added Dickhut.
As you probably know there is a shortage of used farm equipment and supplier setbacks which in turn creates elevated used equipment prices. A listener asked on Americana Insurance Groups Insights into Insurance with Tom Sorenson and Aaron Worm on KATE 1450 AM radio broadcast If I had something happen to any of my equipment, would I be covered for the increase in costs? Please take a listen and find out.
