Dr. Gary Schnitkey, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign professor of farm management and soybean industry chair in agricultural strategy, will spend 30 minutes discussing the macro outlook on the agricultural industry. He brings an extensive tenure and expertise to the conversation and will be available for questions too.
Cole Patrick, Compeer director of insurance strategies, and Brandon Pezanoski, Compeer state insurance product officer, will focus on your farm’s risk management plan. They’ll first look into the key benefits and differences of the FSA’s Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs and how they work alongside endorsements like Enhanced Coverage Option (ECO) and Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO). Then, take a look at how various spring price and coverage scenarios may play out – and how they’ll impact your bottom line.
