The U.S. Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency reminds producers to review available USDA crop risk protection options, including federal crop insurance and Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program coverage.
The following crops have a 2021 Noninsured Crop Disaster application deadline of:
-
Sept. 1, rye, turf grass sod,
-
Sept. 30, perennial forage,
-
Nov. 20, perennial fruits and vegetables: apples, blueberries, cane berries, cranberries and sage,
-
Dec. 1, honey,
-
Feb. 1, 2021, maple sap,
-
March 15, 2021, spring-seeded annual crops and grazing,
-
May 1, 2021, ornamental nursery and non-ornamental nursery.
Federal crop insurance covers crop losses from natural adversities such as drought, hail and excessive moisture, a news release stated. Noninsured Crop Disaster covers losses from natural disasters on crops for which no permanent federal crop insurance program is available, including perennial grass forage and grazing crops, fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, floriculture, ornamental nursery, aquaculture, turf grass, ginseng, honey, syrup, bioenergy and industrial crops.
Producers can determine if crops are eligible for federal crop insurance or Noninsured Crop Disaster by visiting https://tinyurl.com/wqqlsva.
The program’s basic coverage is available at 55% of the average market price for crop losses that exceed 50% of expected production, with higher levels of coverage, up to 65% of expected production at 100% of the average market price, including coverage for organics and crops marketed directly to consumers.
Federal crop insurance coverage is sold and delivered solely through private insurance agents. Agent lists are available at all USDA Service Centers or at USDA’s online Agent Locator: https://tinyurl.com/y8g3ecnk. Producers can use the USDA Cost Estimator, https://tinyurl.com/zzn6rxp, to predict insurance premium costs.
For more information on the program, service fees, premiums and sales deadlines, contact the Crow Wing/Cass/Aitkin/Itasca County Farm Service Agency office at 218-829-5965 extension 2 or visit the web at www.fsa.usda.gov/nap.
