The first of the series, “Weathering the Unpredictable: The Protection Crop Insurance Provides,” describes common perils that result in these losses, as well as which crop insurance policies cover each type of loss.
The series continues with resources outlining important dates to remember and instructions for filing a claim. This includes dates that producers must follow to maintain eligibility for crop insurance coverage, such as the sales closing date, premium billing date, and final planting date. In addition, the guide contains details producers need when filing a claim to ensure they receive full coverage.
“The process may seem complicated to newcomers, but there’s no need to navigate the process alone,” said Willardson. “These guides are meant to serve as a starting point for a conversation with your crop insurance agent.”
Another resource in the series includes an overview of Prevented Plant Coverage. Many producers are familiar with crop insurance policies that offer financial protection for damaged or destroyed crops; Prevented Plant Coverage, however, offers protection from the loss of crops that could not be planted in the first place.
