As others have said, a farmer can collect a prevented planting payment if the field has a cropping history and is enrolled in the right program. I farm on the SD/MN border, and we typically will have some land that is too wet to get onto, especially in a year like this. We have planted beans up until July 4, and we even planted some silage corn last Thursday. Sometimes we have planted sorghum/sudangrass or a cover crop. But one of the provisions of the prevented planting program is that you cannot harvest any grain or forage until after Nov 1 on prevent plant acres. So it actually pays better to take the prevent plant versus risking the weather in the late fall (when we typically are getting cold and snowy). Additionally, planting beyond insurance deadlines can be risky too. This would be later than late May/early June for corn or June 15 for beans. The crop insurance company will reduce the coverage available for things planted beyond the deadlines. I should add we are not BTOs by any means, we mostly just raise feed for our cow/calf operation. So, dollar-wise, we actually are punishing ourselves by planting things late for feed when we could take the prevent plant check.... But we try to plant a cover crop wherever there is land that we cannot grow a normal crop on- it is beneficial to keep something growing rather than having just bare ground or weeds. I hope this helps explain things a little. Lon

Today's Featured Article - The Rescue of a Fordson F - by Anthony West. Introduction I live in the UK and have for many years restored Fordson tractors (in the main model N's).

At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p
