Emergency Meeting Concerning Corn & Soybean Planting Decisions

Phil Kaatz<kaatz@msu.edu>, Michigan State University Extension - June 01, 2011

June 2 meetings will help corn and soybean farmers explore all options.

With each passing rain storm in Michigan, planting dates have been pushed later into the season for most crops. Because there are deadlines for crop insurance approaching, important decisions need to be made by producers. MSU Extension has scheduled two meetings for Thursday, June 2.

Tentative topics are:

USDA – Farm Service Agency: reporting requirements, deadlines and considerations
Crop insurance
Market options for commodities
Agronomy considerations for late planted crops
Economic modeling using a budget template
Options for wheat

Please pass the word on to other farmers and ag professionals who might be interested in this meeting.

Thursday, June 2, 9 a.m – 11 a.m.

John Sulkowski Farm
1344 Cove Road
Goodells, MI 48027

Thursday, June 2, 2 p.m. – 4 p.m.
