You are right and you are wrong Dave.
You insure in units. In other words my insurance is in split by sections. All the land I farm in a section is on one policy. If I farm in 3 sections then I have 3 units.
You only collect when the total actual yield average is below your established yield for the insured unit. Not on individual fields.
Ex:Field 1 yields 145 on 20 acres.
Field 2 yields 150 on 20 acres.
Field 3 yields 135 on 20 acres.
My established yield is 140. I do not collect on the 135 field cause the average for the whole unit is above the 140 average.
Also your established yield is a average of the last 5 years. So every time you collect your established yield goes down.
I had neighbors who had a established yield of about 70 bu before they quit farming cause they collected every year and the yield kept going down.
Now if I would go out and rent a new to me farm with a high established yield I could work the system like you say and just farm it for the insurance.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
