The Crop Insurance and Reinsurance Bureau kicks off its annual meeting today in Indian Wells, CA. I am going to guess that the President’s budget will once again be a topic of discussion. During the next couple days I’ll be meeting members and speakers to learn the potential impact of proposed changes to the budget affecting crop insurance and what the organization is planning for this year.

While Cindy and Jamie are enjoying snow and cold at the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville I’ll somehow put up with the very warm temperatures of the desert in California. It’s just the way the dice rolls sometimes. I’m in the air right now and encourage you to follow the CIRB hashtag, #CIRB2016. See you from there.
