Georgia Cotton: Reducing Hurricane Risk with Earlier Harvest - Study
Georgia’s cotton crop was decimated by Hurricane Michael in 2018. Now, University of Georgia Cooperative Extension cotton agronomist Jared Whitaker is hoping his research will help alleviate some of the risks associated with harvesting cotton when tropical systems arrive in the fall. “With cotton production, we can’t do anything to prevent damage to the crop from hurricanes. The only thing we can do is spread our risk so that our entire crop isn’t entirely vulnerable to one storm.
Illinois: Break-Even Yields and ARC-CO Payments
This article shows break-even county yields below which Agricultural Risk Coverage at the County Level (ARC-CO) will make payments in 2019. Break-even yields are calculated at USDA’s January estimates of Market Year Average (MYA) prices: $3.85 per bushel for corn, $8.40 per bushel for soybeans, and $5.50 per bushel for wheat. For corn, 2019 county yields likely will exceed break-even levels in most Illinois counties, meaning that most Illinois counties will not receive an ARC-CO payment in 2019.
