Soybean Rust, Crop Insurance, and You brochure:

There are two versions of the brochure: one is a high resolution brochure suitable for professional printing, and the other is a lower resolution version that prints off well enough on your office printer and is good for emailing and web viewing. Please share this with local FSA offices and Extension agents, and distribute copies at meetings and conferences you attend. The idea is to get the information to the producer and to be able to answer questions. There is no restriction on distribution.
