Ron, by planting, there is always a chance that you will either make a profit or experience a loss, or break even. If you dont plant, you either operate at a loss or break even, but you cant make a profit. Most farmers rent a lot of ground, and the rent is due whether anything is planted or not. At least if the land is planted, then claims can be made against crop insurance, which if a farmer these days dont carry are playing a game with less odds than Russian Roulette. Crop insurance is very expensive, and is tantamount to physicans and mal practice insurance, but a necessary evil in todays business climate. One of the responders suggested disking wet spots, and that does help in many cases even for no-till operations, but it can be counterproductive if it rains after a field is disked and planting occurrs. Bottom line is that not planting is not even an option to be considered if you are a true farmer. We planted some fields 3 times this year because of flooding and wet ground. Hopefully next year will be different,(better).
