Deadline nears for producers to join farm programs

The deadlines are quickly approaching for producers with base acres to make decisions regarding new coverage programs under the current Farm Bill.

The two new programs that have been created through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in the 2014 Farm Bill are Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC).

ARC and PLC are commodity farm safety net programs that offer farmers protection when market forces cause substantial drops in crop prices and/or revenues.

A batch of random thoughts, including to love neighbor and bear their burdens

Once a month or so, I make my husband a huge pot of vegetable soup and divide it into small plastic containers to put in the freezer for his lunch.

Usually, my soup is delicious, except for the batch I just made. I forgot to put in the chopped onion and my husband said it was way too salty.
