The cover crop project seeks to provide farmers with a practical web-based decision support tool designed to help manage cover crops in their fields. The project makes use of existing research to demonstrate the potential for cover crops, as well as providing useful information for decision making and management of this practice. It will also seek to apply future research on cover crops as results are incorporated into updates and new iterations of the tool. This remains a work in progress with a goal towards adapting with the science.

2023 Harvest Prices and Revenue Insurance Payments for Corn and Soybeans
The 2023 Harvest Prices are now set at $4.88 for corn and $12.84 for soybeans. This is a 17% decline from the $5.91 projected price for corn, and a 7% decline from the $13.76 projected price for soybeans. Because the Harvest Price is below the Projected Price for both crops, revenue policies will trigger the same payments regardless of whether they include the Harvest Price option (RP) or not (RP-HPE).
Potential Crop Insurance Payments for 2023
In today’s farmdoc daily article, we examine how the price discovery period for the harvest prices for corn and soybeans is currently underway. Through October 9th, settlement prices for the harvest contracts for corn (December) and soybeans (November) suggest harvest prices will be below projected prices. Lower harvest prices combined with yields at or below APH yield levels could result in substantial crop insurance indemnities for revenue products.
The farmdoc Crop Insurance section offers iFARM online tools including the Premium Calculator, Payment Evaluator and Price Distribution Tool. These tools are updated annually during the Spring crop insurance election period.
