Replant Coverage

Replant coverage can get a little murky, but its an important part of your crop insurance policy. When we think replant, we think of a disaster that has wiped out an entire field. Is that all replant covers?

No!

In order to be eligible for a replant payment, insured must experience a loss of 20 acres or 20%, whichever is less.

If the loss is less than 50 acres on any unit, the agent and insured can self certify the loss using maps and seed reciepts.

In 2010, insured will be paid $3.99 on 8 bushels per replanted acre.

Food Stamps

Not to get political, but this number blew me away. 40 million Americans on food stamps.
