SAINT LOUIS, Mo. — The American Soybean Association has proposed "Risk Management for America’s Farmers" for the 2012 Farm Bill.
"This proposal will help farmers manage the risks they face from adverse weather, crop disease and volatile commodity markets," stated ASA President Alan Kemper, a soybean producer from Lafayette, Ind.
"ASA believes the current farm program safety net can be made more effective, efficient and defensible by reallocating baseline funding to this revenue-based program that improves risk management and complements crop insurance," Kemper added. Because the proposal would replace current farm programs, this proposal would also result in savings. . .
