Making it easier for AgriStability customers

Mar 19, 2015

A shorter claim form and new renewal package have been developed to make it easier for customers to participate in AgriStability.

The Year-end Report and Claim Form has been developed to replace the Year-end Application. The form is now half the length, and the section on reporting of farm information has been significantly streamlined to make it easier to complete. As well, a tip sheet has been developed to help producers avoid common errors when filling out the form.

The Year-end Report and Claim Form is available online in a prepopulated format with built-in prompts that make it easier for customers to provide the right information. Producers are invited to visit agricorp.com/agristability-webinar and watch the segment titled New AgriStability Claim Form for a demonstration on how to complete the form. The June 30 deadline to submit the form has not changed.

The new renewal package includes a renewal notice detailing the customer's information on file at Agricorp. Receiving the information at the beginning of the program year allows customers to review and notify Agricorp of any necessary changes that may affect their coverage. The package is being mailed in advance of the April 30 deadline.

AgriStability is an important part of a comprehensive suite of business risk management programs. AgriStability protects producers from large declines in their farming income caused by production loss, increased costs or market conditions.

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
