Economist says ’22 ARC versus PLC decision easy for most

An agriculture economist says for most farmers, the decision between Agricultural Risk Coverage and Price Loss Coverage is pretty easy this year. Paul Mitchell with the University of Wisconsin says, “I’m really strongly encouraging people to sign up for ARC, but the reality is neither of them are very likely to pay.”

Mitchell tells Brownfield with commodity prices where they are, he’s not counting on farmers to get a payment on the major crops.
