Tyey don't pay if there's a shitty crop and the government won't make them pay up.

I got into an argument about that last year with municipal on drowned out crop so i told him he had to refund premium. He said we cant do that in the end they paid the hail claim . But there is nothing in their legal bullshit about crop quality. This guy was just being an asshole . I think a lawyer would make them pay

Yes Grefer, the winds can wear you down. The stronger the quicker. The stronger with heat and low humidity sucks the life blood out of everything, including me. But the crop is not past the point of no return here yet. One canola field will have shitty patches in it even if it rains. The other that was seeded on 450 acres of pea stubble isnt bad at all considering what its endured but even if it rains you won't see it on the cover of any magazines or within it's cover either! But a rain would sure help, hard to believe how it's managing to hang on.

Re hail insurance. If there are only 4 stalks of wheat per square foot and two are broken over badly by hail...that's 50% damage, same.if there's only two per square foot and one got hit...50%...end of story. I am not aware of any clause stating minimum plants per square foot affecting the payout. If they don't want to insure poorly established crops or thin ones maybe they shouldn't accept the premium. Its a huge ****ing gamble piling on the indemnity in hopes of hailing out a shitty crop. Pay more premium for extra coverage and if it doesn't hail you still have a shitty crop that you have to pay extra premium with.

The last hail insurance guy I kicked off farm .....

Hopefully those who need rain get it
Those who are not done seeding may be

I don't think our spring "rains" would total a quarter inch. Brutal!

Maybe a guy should bet on white combine. This would be the year, as long as crop is still alive when it comes. Bet,bet, bet no pst yet right?

Correct, apparently no PST this year if premium paid before July 1st. (I phoned in to ask)

Just south of us last year there was no meaningful rain till July 16. Canola should have been plowed under, looked that bad, but they got 2" and it kept on raining. They took off 60 plus. Couldn't believe it.

We sat in a bubble again last night, rains disappearing like before . Hopefully a tend that does not continue.
Rains keep following the wet areas west of here

That's what rain seems to do furrow. In 2010 once it started it never stopped. Moisture seems to follow moisture. Looks like another hurricane today combined with torch like temperature numbers.
Lovely.
