HIA Update
	112 6th Ave Madison, MN  56256 320-598-3332 PO Box 194 - 857 US Hwy 12 Ortonville, MN  56278  320-839-2896   Trend Adjusted APH is more expensive than originally estimated!!! This option, which increases a unit's average production history, was originally thought to cost the same as the 60% yield substitution.  This was stated in the original language.  A 'second draft' changed this seemingly no-brainer option to a very complicated formula.  Now you will be charged a base premium equal to the yield guarantee's effective coverage, yet retain your elected level subsidy rate!  Make sure you talk to Duane, Tim, or Peter about this option.   Weather Insurance NOW AVAILABLE Contact us for Details and Quotes Total Weather Insurance as provided by the Climate Corporation Weather Insurance may not be for everyone, but we can provide an objective, no pressure quote to anyone interested   It's a new year with new opportunities and programs that can serve your farm well.  There are also plenty of products being pitched that may not perform as well as advertised.  If you are considering a crop insurance or related named peril product, please talk to one of us.  You will receive no pressure sales advice and truly objective information.  We are a family owned independent agency dedicated to serving our local area.  Our policys are serviced by a licensed agent invested in the business relationship - not a sales representative hunting for more commissions - and reinsured by the largest multiperil AIP in the business - RCIS. Iowa agent pays back $834,897 in fraudulent claims he filed in South Dakota. http://www.rma.usda.gov/news/2011/12/hawley.pdf http://southwestiowanews.com/articles/2011/12/16/denison/news/doc4eeba9277d466214137486.txt  Choose an agent wisely! Before choosing your agent, please remember that you can only switch agents once per crop year.  If someone is approaching you with urgent action or early signup requirements, we advise caution.  Theoretically, someone could obtain your policy and not speak to you again!

	Chris Clayton Bio DTN Ag Policy Editor House Debates Today Reflect Duality of Man Tuesday, February 7, 2012 5:23PM CST I'm always a little fascinated with the "duality of man." I understand it comes from the work of Carl Jung. What sticks in my head is the 1987 movie "Full Metal Jacket" when a Marine colonel browbeats private Joker for wearing a peace symbol on his jacket while "Born to Kill" is scribbled on his helmet. Joker (a reporter by the way) says, "I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man."
