LAMESA — Hello, crop insurance; goodbye, direct payments.
That’s what’s in the new farm bill, panelists explained at the Lamesa Cotton Growers’ annual membership meeting on Monday morning, March 10.
While adjusting to those new insurance programs, it pays to do your research, National Cotton Council chairman Wally Darneille said.
“It’s going to be really important for crop producers to work with their insurance agents and know what questions to ask,” he told a large group of farmers.
