I participate in the current GRIP insurance program. I see it as a fair way to cover and treat all included acres equally against county wide weather situations as well as a price protection vehicle. I have also selected it because there is no production information required. I believe this inspires me, as well as other farmers to do the best they can to maximize yields and prevents fraudulent activity that I believe goes on in the individual insurance policies. It saves me time, especially in cases when we've been through reviews. The only review we've had with GRIP is acres, which the FSA 578 summary provides the evidence. GRIP also saves me time if there is a loss situation. I don't have to spend a half day with an adjuster, unfairly reshrinking my corn to show more bushels than I've been paid for. Plus, since my production is irrelevant to my policy, I strongly disapprove of the proposed production reporting change. All other aspects of the changes I can live with, especially if they help reduce the premiums, but that one may force me out of the program.
