Managing for Profit

Those Farm Bill meetings can help your bottom line

As farmers are trying to decide which safety net option to select – the Agricultural Risk Coverage or the Price Loss Coverage program – there is a lot of information digest.

Stu Ellis, an educator with the University of Illinois says it’s important farmers to take the time to learn the ins and outs of the ARC and PLC programs.  He says one of the easiest ways to do that is to participate in local training sessions that are being put on around the country.

He says the main goal of those meetings are to let farmer know help is out there and educate them on how to use the tools available to make the correct decision for their operation.
