Buying a crop insurance policy is one risk management option. Producers should always carefully consider how a policy will work in conjunction with their other risk management strategies to insure the best possible outcome each crop year. Crop insurance agents and other agri-business specialists can assist farmers in developing a good management plan.
Multiple Peril Crop Insurance provides comprehensive protection against weather-related causes of loss and certain other unavoidable perils. Coverage is available at 50 to 75 percent of the actual production history (APH) for the farm. Coverage levels of 80 and 85 percent are available for some crops if indicated on the actuarial documents for the county. MPCI coverage provides protection against low yields and poor quality as well as prevented planting, late planting, and replanting costs for most crops.
Revenue Protection (RP) policies insure producers against yield losses due to natural causes and revenue losses caused by a change in the harvest price from the projected price. The producer selects the amount of average yield he or she wishes to insure; from 50 to 75 percent (up to 85 percent in some areas). The projected and harvest prices are based on daily settlement prices for certain futures contracts.
Yield Protection (YP) policies insure producers in the same manner as APH policies, except a projected price is used to determine insurance coverage. The projected price is based on daily settlement prices for certain future contracts.
Insurance coverage based on an area, not an individual, yield or revenue amount. There are three plans of insurance available under ARPI: Area Revenue Protection, Area Revenue Protection with the Harvest Price Exclusion, and the Area Yield Protection.
Livestock Gross Margin (LGM) provides protection against loss of gross margin (market value of livestock minus feed costs).
Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) provides protection against price declines.
Crop-Hail provides coverage against loss to growing crops caused by hail. A crop hail policy may also provide coverage for loss caused by other perils including fire, lightning, wind (when accompanied by hail or by separate endorsement), vandalism, and malicious mischief.
