Maryland Officials Encourage Crop Insurance, Boost Advertising Budget
Maryland agriculture officials are encouraging farmers to buy crop insurance.

The department is placing additional advertising reminders in trade publications about a Sept. 30 deadline for fall wheat and barley planting. Materials in Spanish, Korean and Vietnamese should also be available in September in local extension offices.
Department officials say 70 percent of Maryland’s corn acres have crop insurance, 80 percent of soybean and 50 percent of wheat acres.
