Crop Hail coverage protects against damage due to hail, fire, and lightning. It also secures against losses from damage occurring during transit. 

As part of the Federal Crop Insurance Program, Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) covers the loss of crop yield, resulting from all types of natural causes, including:  

  • Drought

  • Natural Disasters

  • Excessive moisture

  • Deep freezes

  • Hot weather

  • Disease

Yield Protection (YP) and Actual Production History (APH) policies insure producers against yield losses due to natural causes such as drought, excessive moisture, damage from wildlife, hail, wind, frost, insects, and disease. These policies guarantee a level of income in case of disaster and a minimum yield, so you can market more comfortably.

The Revenue Protection (RP) plan provides all the coverage of the YP and APH policies, plus protection against loss of revenue caused by yield and/or market fluctuations. It allows you to "lock in" your revenue at a predetermined price. 

The Area Risk Protection Insurance (ARPI) plan is a county-based insurance policy. ARPI provides protection against widespread loss of yield, revenue, or a combination of both in a county. Individual farm yield performance and revenue are not considered under ARPI.

Pasture, Rangeland, Forage (PRF) insurance is available to farmers and ranchers who rely on pasture, rangeland, or forage acreage for haying or grazing to feed their livestock. It offers producers a risk management tool that can protect when rainfall levels aren’t enough to provide forage acres with the intended use of haying or grazing. Coverage is based on the experience of a grid and not individual farms.
