Faith. It seems so easy to say we have faith, but it’s very hard to explain what faith really means to someone else. Frederick Buechner wrote in his book Beyond Words, “Faith is better understood as a verb than as a noun, as a process than as a possession. It is on-againoff-again rather than onceand-for-all. Faith is not being sure where you’re going, but going anyway. A journey without maps. Paul Tillich said that doubt isn’t the opposite of faith; it is an element of faith.”

Many farmers are concerned about the cool spring weather and cold soil temperatures. Usually, farmers have started planting by now. Hopefully, the weather will warm up and planting will progress. Farmers have started to discuss prevented planting. As the planting season goes on, farmers will have to decide whether to plant or not to plant. Final planting dates for corn producers are May 25 (northern Minnesota) and May 31 (southern Minnesota). June 10 is the final planting date for soybeans for the whole state. If you decide not to plant, there is a formula to use to determine your prevented planting rate. There is a simple payment rate of $5.90 multiplied by your APH and your insured percentage multiplied by 55% to get your prevented planting rate for corn. For example, 85% coverage is $5.90 *180 bushels (APH)*.85 *.55= $496.49 per acre payment less premium. For soybeans: $14.33*50 bushels (APH)*.85 *.60=$365.42 per acre payment less premium.
