I have row cropped farmed for 2 years now, made hay for 4 years before that. The last 2 years row cropping, I just put the crop in, paid for land rent, inputs, insurance, everything out of my own pocket. I didn't take out any loans, and only bought hail insurance, no other coverage. I got by pretty well with the limited insurance on my crops, but I did have wind blow down some of the last corn that I had standing this fall. I got it harvested, but I know there was some loss, not alot. This got me to thinking what if I had a large crop failure, or even a total loss. That would be a real financial kick in the pants. I'm thinking maybe I should insure my crops better in the future. What programs are available to help me with my crops? besides, insurance, are there other programs that can help me cashflow my operation? I guess I just don't know what to ask for if I should walk into the FSA office or any other office to ask for any help on programs available. I hear other farmers mentioning the FSA office and talk about receiving checks in the mail, but I'm not sure how any of this works. Can anyone offer any insight?
I will be putting in a total of 200 acres next year split between corn and soybeans. Also I make about 60 acres of hay, some upland, some meadows. Mille Lacs county MN if that matters.
I'm not looking for anyone to go off about farm programs or subsidies here, I am just asking how to use what is available to allow me to continue doing what I love. I'd like to get some generalizations on things before I walk in there and start asking questions.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
