The premium onCAT coverage is paid by the Federal Government; however, producers must pay a $300 administrative fee for each crop insured in each county. Limited-resource farmers may have this fee waived.

The GRP program is intended for those growers who have a yield that corresponds with the county yield. Coverage levels from 70-90 percent are available. When the county yield falls below the selected coverage level percentage, the grower is indemnified accordingly, regardless of the individual yield of the grower.  

 

What are the benefits of AYP?

  • Maximum policy protection is 150% of the established price (x) the expected county yield.

  • Offers a competitive premium, requires no records and less paperwork than other plans to participate.

  • Protects against widespread loss of yield in a county.

Area Revenue Protection (ARP)

 

A county-based revenue insurance product that pays the producer in the event the county average per-acre revenue falls below the trigger revenue level selected by the producer. GRIP combines the yield coverage of the Group Risk Plan ( GRP ) with price protection similar to the Revenue Assurance ( RA ) and Crop Revenue Coverage ( CRC ) policies. GRIP offers the producer a guarantee against declines in revenue by county. Coverage levels from 70-90 percent are available. Those considering GRIP should also consider a crop hail policy, which helps reduce producer specific risk.  

 

What are the benefits of ARP?

  • Maximum policy protection is 150% of the expected county revenue, more than any other multi-peril program.

  • Requires no records and less paperwork to participate.

  • Protects against widespread loss of revenue in a county.

Whole Farm Revenue Protection (WFRP)

 

Whole Farm Revenue Protection is a revenue based product which replaces the AGR and AGR-Lite forms of insurance.  WFRP is a product which includes every farm commodity raised from corn to bee's honey.  The only exceptions in the policy are timber, timber products, and animals for show and pets.  Do you grow Christmas trees, pumpkins, tomatoes, squash, hops, etc., then this policy may be best for you.  The WFRP policy looks at Schedule F (1040) tax returns to determine a farmers revenue gaurantee.  

 

What are the benefits of WFRP?

  • ​WFRP is based on an individuals farming history, which means you don't have to rely on county wide losses to determine claims.

  • Possibly the best benefit of WFRP is that typically uninsurable crops are able to be insured, and will recieve larger subsidies based on the farms diversity.

  • Only one commodity is required to qualify, essentially allowing any farmer to manage their risk without needing to raise a cash crop.
