Federal crop insurance
Federal crop Insurance, also called multi-peril crop insurance (MPCI) provides coverage for your loss of yield and/or revenue from natural disasters like drought, excessive moisture, disease, wind, wildfire, and hail.
Yield Protection (YP)
Yield Protection provides protection against a loss in farm yield due to naturally occurring events and guarantees a production yield based on your Actual Production History (APH).
Revenue Protection (RP)
Revenue Protection crop insurance protects you from a revenue loss caused by price fluctuations, low farm yields or a combination of the two. Protected amounts are based on your APH and either the projected price or the harvest price (whichever is higher). Those are determined in accordance with the Commodity Exchange Price Provisions (CEPP).
Revenue Protection with the Harvest Exclusion (RP-HPE)
Similar to revenue protection, RP-HPE protects you from a loss of revenue caused by a price decrease, low yields, or a combination of both. But the difference is protected revenue amounts are based on your APH and only the projected price.
Area Yield Protection (AYP)
Area Yield Protection protects you from a widespread loss of yield due to a county level production loss. Area Yield Protection is based on the expected county yield (not individual yields). You’ll receive a loss payment if the average county yield is less than your trigger yield. This protection does not protect against a loss of revenue.
Area Revenue Protection (ARP)
Area Revenue Protection protects you from a loss of revenue due to a county level production loss, price decline, or combination of both. It’s designed to insure the combination of yield and price. The expected county yields are multiplied by either the Base Price (spring) or the Harvest Price (fall), whichever is higher. ARP also includes harvest price protection.
Area Revenue Protection with Harvest Price Exclusion (ARP-HPE)
This protects you from a loss of revenue due to a county level production loss, price decline, or combination of both. You only receive a loss payment when the county revenue falls below your selected trigger revenue. Area Revenue Protection with Harvest Price Exclusion does not include upside harvest price protection.
Livestock Risk Protection
Livestock Risk Protection insurance can help protect you against declining livestock market prices. You can select from a variety of coverage levels and insurance periods depending on the time your livestock would normally be sold.
Livestock Gross Margin
Livestock Gross Margin insurance is a policy designed to protect your farm’s bottom line if feed costs spike and the cost to feed your livestock is more than the market value of the animals (or the market value of your milk, if you have a dairy farm).
Dairy Revenue Protection
Dairy-RP was created to help protect the revenue of milk production on your dairy farm and prepare for reductions in milk sales. Dairy farmers can choose how much of their expected quarterly milk production to insure, what milk price they wish to protect, and their coverage and protection levels.
Rainfall Index
Rainfall Index provides coverage for Annual Forage, Apiculture, and Pasture/Rangeland/Forage crops based on precipitation received in a given area. The program uses area grids and NOAA data to determine precipitation and differences from normal to calculate indemnities.
Whole Farm Revenue Protection
Whole Farm Revenue Protection provides coverage for most commodities on the farm under one policy. This includes specialty or organic product farms (both crops and livestock).
Microfarm Coverage
Microfarm provides coverage specifically for farms with less than $350,000 in annual revenue, for most commodities on the farm under one insurance policy. This includes specialty or organic product farms (both crops and livestock).
Rainfall Index
Rainfall Index provides coverage for Annual Forage, Apiculture, and Pasture/Rangeland/Forage crops based on precipitation received in a given area. The program uses area grids and NOAA data to determine precipitation and differences from normal to calculate indemnities.
Margin Protection (MP)
Margin Protection crop insurance protects you from an unexpected decrease in your operating margin and is area-based, using county-level yield, revenue, and input estimates.
Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO)
This is an endorsement added to your individual RP, RP-HPE or YP policy. Supplemental Coverage Option is designed to provide additional coverage on a county basis to your individual coverage level up to 86%. In order to be eligible for SCO the associated farm must be enrolled in PLC with the FSA.
Enhanced Coverage Option (ECO)
This is an endorsement added to your individual RP, RP-HPE or YP policy. Enhanced Coverage Option is designed to provide additional coverage on a county basis to your individual coverage level up to either 90 or 95%.
Post Application Coverage Endorsement (PACE)
Post Application Coverage Endorsement provides coverage in addition to your underlying YP, RP or RP-HPE policy to insure against the inability to apply nitrogen during the growing season due to covered perils.
