ISU Extension holding webinars on the Farm Bill
A series of webinars on the Farm Bill will be launched next week by the Iowa State University Extension.
Ann Johanns, an ISU Extension specialist in economics, says they’ll talk about things like the analysis process for ag risk coverage. As producers make their farm bill decisions, Johanns says they need to pay attention to the markets while looking forward.
“Producers need to keep in mind that they’re making a decision for prices we’re going to see next year,” Johanns says. “What we see now, we really need to think about that outlook aspect of it, so they’re making the decision to best fit their operation for the 2021 crop, not what they’re selling that 2020 crop at.” Johanns says the webinars will spend time acquainting farmers with PLC, or price loss coverage.
