North Dakota farmers are battling yet another wet spring, with almost all of our corn growers’ crops still not in the ground. Today I called on the U.S. Department of Agriculture to delay the final crop insurance planting deadline for corn growers in North Dakota to provide our hardworking farmers with some more time to make their very consequential decisions, and potentially save USDA money with less of them using the prevented plant claims in the crop insurance program. I have spent a lot of time discussing this issue with our producers, and am confident it is in all of our best interests to push this deadline back. I hope USDA agrees.
