Farm Bureau's Scott Bulling Worries About Federal Crop Insurance Budget Cuts
Mon, 22 Mar 2010 11:00:34 CDT
Oklahoma FarmBureau's Crop Insurance Manager Scott Bulling has just returned from Washington, D.C. where he and OFB President Mike Spradling tried to convince the Obama administration they are wrong about cutting $6.9 billion from the program. Bulling says that there is a risk that crop insurance companies might choose to stop providing policies in higher risk states like Oklahoma if the cuts materialize.
The hope is that those cuts will be reduced or eliminated- and Bulling says that he believes that things will work out and that we will have a suitable program ready to go for the next big signup period for Oklahoma farmers- coverage of the 2011 winter wheat crop.
You can listen to an audio overview of this story with the thoughts of Scott Bulling- the report is anchored by Sam Knipp of the OFB Communications Department.
