The National Corn Growers Association says the next farm bill needs to include crop insurance coverage that is reflective of actual prices.
Wayne Stoskopf, director of public policy, tells Brownfield the statutory reference price for corn is $3.70 and well below the current farmgate price.
“We know that the cost of production and the challenges that growers are facing on input costs, in particular, means that’s not necessarily the best level of protection,” he says.
