USA - Wheat farmers file crop insurance claims in North Dakota

16.09.2014 215 views

North Dakota' wheat crop is struggling with the sprouting of grains, kernel and hail damages. These conditions are preventing farmers from getting a high enough price for the grain or even selling it at all. Crop insurance is kicking in to prevent revenue loss.
