Special Report
Commodity Classic about ‘sitting down with other farmers’
Minn. soybean grower Lance Peterson at Commodity Classic, Kissimmee, Fla., Feb. 27, 2013.
Lance Peterson of Fergus Falls, Minnesota has spent 11 years on the board of his state’s soybean organization, four of them also on the American Soybean Association board. Much of the discussion that Peterson has been part of in Kissimmee has been about what is appropriate in the next farm bill. “We feel that risk management is the number one issue; we want a solid crop insurance program, we want to be able to plant crops on our farm which are appropriate for the rotation and appropriate for our farm management,” Peterson told Brownfield Ag News in Kissimmee. “We don’t want to plant for the farm bill; so to speak, we don’t see that as the answer.”
