Your insurance is "valid" as long as you had your application in to your agent by sales closing date of 3/15. Your insurance will attach once the crop is visible above the ground. The April 10/11/12 (varies by region) is just the date that you are covered by the replant portion of your federal crop insurance policy. You can plant before that date and still have the full level of insurance that you selected on your application, but you wouldn't be able to turn a replant claim in and have it covered. For corn, the replant provision pays 8 bushel x the spring price ($3.96) which amounts to just under $32 an acre. That's all you're forfeiting if you plant prior to that date. Many seed companies have a pretty good replant program themselves, so, many times, you're not out a whole lot. I'm a proponent of planting when conditions are good and the nearby forecast is favorable. Now, I agree that this year, it looks like it will be somewhere beyond 4/11 when its fit to roll. I just thought I'd throw this info out there as it is a very common misconception and there have been years when the weather was good a couple days prior to "the date" and guys sat simply because of it. My oats have been in for two weeks and had 3 snows on them, so at least they should be good! Lol! :). Good luck this spring!

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
