A late spring and ongoing rain in some parts of the country has brewed a perfect storm in terms of hay supply. As many crop farmers make the decision to preventive plant their corn and soybean ground, some are calling for those preventive plant acres to be opened up for harvesting before the Nov. 1 date. This week’s online poll question is: “Do you think Congress should open up preventive plant acres to early harvest?” Yes, we are facing a major hay shortage. Every acre will help. No, the crop insurance system is set in place for a reason. Don't care.
