Frequently Asked Questions
As you may know, crop insurance is constantly changing. As the Government makes provisions and regulates crop insurance, there are some frequently asked questions from some of our insureds. Here are some common questions farmers and ranchers like you may have:
Yes, however you will have to obtain a written agreement with the RMA approving the breaking of the
sod. We will forward the paperwork to the RMA for you.
Yes, as long as it is broken and farmed within 3 years of the date it came out of CRP. After 3 years
the land will revert back to native sod, and we will have to obtain a written agreement to insure
it.
Generally, you will be assigned either the simple average or 100% of the T-Yield, depending upon
which is greater. There are some exceptions to these rules. To find out more Contact Us!

There are no restrictions on how many acres you can add, but there are restrictions on insuring the
land and obtaining yields. If you obtain more than 640 acres up to 2,000 acres we will need to
obtain a written agreement. Anything over 2,000 acres will be assigned the T-Yield.
Your premium is determined by your chosen coverage level, location, yield, and commodity price. The
is the actual formula for determining your premium: yield x coverage level you select x established
price x rate by crop, crop type, and county.
