I agree. Margin-based insurance would certainly help.
I think we need to place more emphasis on understanding our forage cost predictions and using technology to track our yields. There should be more incentive to track yields.
I agree 100% with your thoughts, Mr. Epp.
If we had better yield and quality tracking, we'd be much better attuned to what we can do from an insurance perspective. That's tracking our rainfall more effectively on the farm, including soil moisture, content tracking and utilizing new technologies like satellite imagery, which help us to give biomass yield. Calibrating those systems will go a long way to helping us with the forage yield data that we really need to bring us on par with annual cropping systems.
