    What all of that does NOT say, is how much an active farmer has to pay for "each" of his crop's policies....it is not a blanket policy, which covers ALL of a farmer's crops....we pay a yearly premium for "each" individual crop....i.e., if a farmer double-crops soybeans, behind his wheat, then, he pays a premium for both the wheat crop and the soybean crop....and, his soybean coverage is automatically reduced for each day he is late in getting the soybeans planted, by a certain deadline-date....like I said earlier, it is complicated.

    By most standards, here in MS, I am a small farmer....my 2013 premiums cost me over $20,000 dollars, so it ain't all gravy.
