Producers must make crop insurance decisions soon
JACKSON, Miss., Feb. 14, 2017 – USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA) reminds Mississippi producers that the final date to apply for Whole-Farm Revenue Protection and insurance coverage on corn, cotton, soybeans, rice, grain sorghum, and peanuts is February 28. Current policyholders who wish to make changes to their existing policies also have until the sales closing date to do so.
Crop insurance provides protection against crop production losses due to natural perils such as drought, excessive moisture, and decreases in revenue.
Producers are encouraged to visit their crop insurance agent to learn specific details for the 2017 crop year. Crop insurance is sold and delivered solely through private crop insurance agents. A list of crop insurance agents is available at all USDA Service Centers and online at the RMA Agent Locator. Producers can use RMA’s online Cost Estimator to obtain an estimate of their premium amount due.
