Farmers have until March 15 to make their 2020-21 farm program elections. University of Illinois economist Dr. Gary Schnitkey says farmers must decide between Agriculture Risk Coverage or Price Loss Coverage for this crop year or they will divert back to the election they made in the 2019-20 season.

So, he says farmers should keep that in mind when making their election.
