Types of Crop Insurance
- Yield Protection (YP)- Our Yield Protection (YP) policy insures producers against production losses due to a covered cause of loss such as drought, excessive moisture, hail, disease or wildlife. YP policies also provide replant, late planting, and prevented planting coverage. The producer selects the percentage of their average yield they would like to insure ranging from 50-85%. A loss would occur when the harvested yield is less than the guaranteed yield on the policy as the result of a covered cause of loss.
- Revenue Protection (RP)- Our Revenue Protection (RP) provides comprehensive protection that covers weather-related, and other certain unavoidable causes of loss and price fluctuations. RP provides the same coverage as YP with the addition of price protection.
- Additional Coverages Available
- Livestock Gross Margin (LGM)
- Livestock Risk Protection (LRP)
- Pasture, Rangeland & Forage (PRF)
- Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO)
- Crop hail policies
- Coverage for orchards, vineyards, nurseries, processing, fresh market vegetables, tobacco, organic crops, etc.
