Illinois farmers, along with others across the country, face a "critical juncture," according to Doug Yoder, Country Financial's Crop Agency Manager.
He and others joined in a Skype broadcast about prevented planting and the factors to consider when filing a claim. With 6.1 million acres of corn and nearly 8.3 million acres of soybeans yet to be planted in Illinois alone as of June 2, those are some decisions that farmers will have to be making.
