Are you
willing to bet the farm? Your crops are subject to all kinds of disasters.
You can’t afford to gamble that the forces of nature won’t
visit your farm sooner or later. We can design a program to protect
you from the financial devastation of a crop disaster.
Our goal
is to assist you with establishing your farms unit structure. This
is important because maximizing the number of optional units will
increase your indemnity should a loss occur.
Multi-Peril
Crop Insurance
Also
known as MPCI or “Buy-Up” coverage. With this coverage
the farmer selects the amount of average yield he or she wishes to
insure, from 50% to 85%. The farmer also selects the percent of the
predicted price he or she wants to insure; between 55% and 100% of
the crop price established annually by RMA. If the harvest is less
than the yield insured, the farmer is paid an indemnity based on the
difference. Indemnities are calculated by multiplying this difference
by the insured percentage of the established price selected when the
crop insurance was purchased. This type of coverage protects most
crops from nearly all natural disasters and unavoidable damage from
insects and disease. As you know, the government subsidizes the premium
for crop insurance. In recent years, the subsidy has increased making
your cost as a producer more affordable.
Crop
Revenue & Revenue Assurance
CRC
and RA protect against lost revenue caused by low yield, low price
or a combination of both. An alternative to MPCI, CRC / RA provide
a minimum dollar guarantee that will increase if harvest prices are
high. Dollar guarantees are calculated using regional Board of Trade’s
early future prices. If the near harvest time futures price exceeds
the early price, producers are provided additional protection. CRC
and RA are available on certain crops in selected states and counties.
