How much multi peril ins?

I raise mainly corn and beans. I run only a couple hundred tillable acres. Farm will be paid for in 3 years and don't have much debt load on machinery. Im trying to figure out what is the best bang for the buck on insurance I currently do 70% on beans and 65% on corn (multi peril) . My land is in east central Wi. and is very fertile silt loam soil. It drains well and holds moisture well. Biggest issue i had in the last couple years is wind, but not enough to file a claim. What coverages are you doing and should I change my coverage

I do have operating loan which I pay off every year and once farm is paid for i will not need a operating loan.

No debt nor operating loans and no crop insurance. Over the years have saved enough on insurance to more than offset any potential losses.
