Farm Credit Illinois crop insurance agents are hosting a free prevented and delayed planting informational meeting for area farmers to review their options. 

Agents Lee Waters and Jeff Wheeler will lead discussions on crop insurance prevented and delayed planting scenarios and information on the USDA’s second Market Facilitation Program (MFP), followed by a question and answer session.

With continued wet weather conditions raising questions about delayed and prevented planting coverage levels, it is crucial for farmers to understand their insurance policies’ options and requirements as they face planting decisions for their specific situation – especially if they are considering switching acres to another crop.

The meeting is tomorrow (Friday) morning at 10:30 am at the Farm Credit Illinois office in Mahomet located at 1100 Farm Credit Drive.
