The crop insurance deadline for fall planted crops is fast approaching.
Across the country, Sept. 30 is the deadline for signing up for federally subsidized crop insurance on
fall planted crops, most notably winter wheat and barley.
It is also the deadline for making any changes to existing crop insurance policies, and given the high
prices in the grain markets, many producers may be considering insuring more of the value at risk in
their crops.
Producers who are considering filing a claim should remember to report crop insurance damage promptly to
your crop insurance agent (in writing and keep a copy for your records). Also, do not destroy any
evidence that is needed to support your claim without clear directions from the insurance company.
