Crop insurance is more important than ever
to thousands of farmers across America. Crop insurance allows
you to custom tailor coverage to your risk tolerance and marketing
objectives. Every farm operation is different and it's important
to have an agent that understands how crop insurance fits
your marketing plan. The success of crop insurance hinges
on the ability to manage the risk inherent in farming, whether
it's weather risk, financial risk, or market risk. Having
adequate insurance protection gives you a solid foundation
for marketing your grain, knowing you have a guaranteed amount
of protection. You may never sell at the top of a market or
buy at the bottom, but crop insurance can give you peace of
mind knowing you are doing everything possible to reduce the
impact of a lost or damaged crop.
Customize Your Coverage
You can customize your crop insurance coverage
to fit your own specific farm operation's needs. A choice
of coverage levels ranging from 50% up to 85% is available,
as well as coverage plans for many crops, including MPCI yield
guarantee protection and revenue products that provide yield
loss and price protection. These multiple choices of products
and coverage levels provide you the opportunity to obtain
the coverage that fits your specific operation and risk management
needs.
Crop Insurance is Affordable
Crop insurance is a federally administered
program, with the government sharing in the risk and adminstrative
costs. This results in a lower premium to the farmer and encourages
America's farmers to purchase higher protection than they
would normally be able to afford.
Crop Insurance Beats Disaster Payments
Disaster payments are unpredicable,
while crop insurance is predicable. Even before farmers plant
their crop, they know what their guarantee is. Farmers pay
a substantial portion of crop insurance premiums, therefore
reducing the cost to taxpayers. Disaster payments are paid
entirely by the taxpayers, and is subject to funding availability.
