Crop Protection
Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) is the oldest and most common form of federal crop insurance. MPCI protects against crop yield losses by allowing participating producers to insure a certain percentage of historical crop production. A single policy protects crops against all-natural perils, including adverse weather, fire, insects, disease, wildlife, earthquake, volcanic eruption, and failure of irrigation water due to unavoidable causes. It is delivered by private companies and reinsured by the federal government.
Buying a crop insurance policy is a risk management tool available to agricultural producers. Producers should consider how a plan will work in conjunction with their other risk management strategies to ensure the best possible outcome each crop year. Crop insurance agents and other agri-business specialists can assist producers in developing a good management plan. RMA provides policies for more than 100 crops. Policies typically consist of general crop insurance provisions, specific crop provisions, policy endorsements, and special provisions. See RMA’s county crop program listings for information about crop policies available in specific counties and states. Plans are available for most commodities; however, some policies are being tested as pilots or have not been expanded nationwide so are not available in all areas.
