Yes. I feel exactly the same way about the program and the old CAIS program. It just seemed like it was a whole lot of work and there were a whole lot of hoops to jump through to hopefully, possibly, be covered off in the end. I would like to see more of a real good crop insurance policy.
I think the biggest issue with CAIS and with this AgriStability is that they're not responsive enough. I have cashflow needs that come due in November and January, whenever they come up, and to have to wait until year-end to submit to see if your margins are correct to get a payout when you have a disaster on your hands, that's not reactive enough, as far as I'm concerned. That's why crop insurance that covers all your bases is where I'm looking.
I also agree that NISA seemed to work well. So does the AgriInvest. But the AgriStability is not.... I'm still in the program, I guess, but I'm not expecting anything from it either, as I am also in expansion mode.
Thank you.
