IMPORTANT MARCH 15 DEADLINE New applications Add crops or delete crops Add county or delete county Change plans (Yield Protection, Revenue Protection, etc.) Change levels of coverage Winter coverage option barley, canola, dry peas and winter wheat Transfer or cancellation of existing MPCI policies Written agreement requests (including new breaking and native sod) Added county election Enterprise units All options: Yield Exclusion (YE) Substitution of yields (YA) Canola two-year rotation option (CR) Malt barley option (MBE) Personal T-yield (PTY) High-Risk Land (HR) Trend Adjusted Yields (TA) Private Products Whole Farm Revenue Protection Beginning Farmer and Rancher Benefits Note: All these changes require your signature, so please contact your Farm Credit Services agent to review your coverage for the 2017 crop year. Your crop insurance policy(s) will remain in force for 2017, unless you indicate otherwise CROP INSURANCE UPDATE Native Sod Producers benefits will be reduced during the first four crop years of planting on land that is converted from Native Sod to the production of a crop. The producers benefits affected are a reduction of premium subsidy, a reduced insurance guarantee, and the elimination of the yield substitution (YA) option. Production records for Native Sod Acreage must be kept separate. Clarification for 2017: Once a producer breaks out more than 5 acres in a county, cumulatively across crop types and crop years (beginning with the 2017 crop year) then Native Sod penalties will apply. Penalties already in place from 2015 or 2016 will remain. Native Sod coverage requests must be completed by March 15, Production Records Clarification Insureds must have acceptable production records available to support the unit structure on their production report. If production is commingled rather than kept separate by unit (section), the production may be prorated. If production records are not kept separately when reported as such, assigned yield procedures may apply North Dakota Actuarial Changes TA added sunflowers to Billings County 80%- 85% Coverage Levels added to Grain Sorghum T-yield changes Corn Sunflowers (Irrigated and Non-Irrigated) Dry Beans (Irrigated and Non-Irrigated) Soybeans (Irrigated) Dry Peas in Oliver County (Non-Irrigated) Canola and Mustard in McLean County Safflower in Dunn and Golden Valley Counties Dry Beans NIBR and IBR practices combined (IRR and NIRR) Corn Prevent Plant factor has been changed from 60% to 55% Non-Irrigated Corn Grain and Non-Irrigated High Amylase Corn expanded to Golden Valley County Dry Peas Large Kabuli Chickpea varieties added to select counties Buckwheat Revised Contract Statement
2 Beginning Farmer/Rancher Benefits (BFR) Beginning farmers and ranchers are eligible for certain benefits designed to help farmers/ranchers as they start their operation. To qualify for BFR status, an individual must not have actively operated and managed a farm or ranch with an insurable interest in any crop or livestock in any county/state for more than five years. Insurable interest may exclude any crop year: under the age of 18, post-secondary studies, or on active duty in the U.S. Military. Benefits will include: Exemption from paying the administrative fee for catastrophic and additional coverage policies Additional 10 percentage points of premium subsidy Use of the production history of farming operations where BFRs were previously involved in the decision-making or physical activities of that farm or ranch operation An increase, from 60 to 80 percent of the applicable yield (T-yield), when replacing a low actual yield due to an insured cause of loss New Producer RMA is instructing Insurance Providers to verify whether an insured is a New Producer. Specifically, the policyholder must certify on the production report that they have not been actively engaged in farming for a share of the production of the insured crop in the county for more than 2 years. If more than 2 years of history exists, penalties may apply upon discovery. Summerfallow Date To qualify as a summerfallow practice, acreage must be chemically or mechanically fallowed on or before June 15, 2017, for crop year Conservation Compliance To be eligible for the premium subsidy on a federally reinsured crop insurance policy of any type, the insured must file a Highly Erodible Land Conservation and Wetland Conservation (form AD-1026) with the Farm Service Agency (FSA). To be eligible for the premium subsidy for 2017; insured must have filed a form AD-1026 with FSA certifying their compliance with HELC and WC provisions on or before June 1, A wetland conversion exemption may be available. New producers that started farming after June 1, 2016, must complete an AD-1026 at FSA by June 1, 2017 and sign a New Farmer Certification statement by July 15, Unit Options Basic units Enterprise units GENERAL INFORMATION Optional units Whole Farm units Enterprise Units Available for crops with revenue or yield protection coverage. To qualify, acres must be planted in at least two sections, with at least 20 acres or 20 percent of the total planted acreage being located in the second section. Acres used to determine the enterprise unit discount include insured planted acreage in the unit (does not include prevented planting acreage). Separate enterprise units and coverage levels are available for Irrigated and Non-Irrigated practices. GENERAL INFORMATION cont. Added Land Procedure Changes If less than 2,000 total cropland acres are added, then the higher of the applicable Variable T-yield, Simpe Average T-yield, or Personal T-yield (if elected) will be used to establish the approved APH yield. The County T-yield or a percent of T-yield will be applied if 2,000 or more total cropland acres are added. Written Agreements (WA) The deadline to request coverage with a Written Agreement is March 15, If you intend to plant a crop, or a type/ practice that is not insurable in a county, production history for that crop or similar crop may be needed to complete the request. Requests will be sent to the Regional Services Office in Billings, MT, for acceptance, rating, or rejection. Corn-Grain Written Agreement Guidelines Requests in counties where only non-irrigated corn silage insurance is offered. Records for at least three crop years of ALL non-irrigated corn acreage in the county (grain and silage): At least 50% of all planted corn acreage harvested as grain or grain appraisals in 3 of the 4 most recent years One of those years, at least 50% of corn acreage actually harvested as grain Producers will be able to request a Written Agreement without three years of records if the producers have fully executed an acceptable processor contract. Processor contracts must be submitted with the (WA) request Important: Records must be based on harvested grain or grain appraisals. Production history CAN NOT be based on conversion from silage records to corn grain records. Added County Election For producers who obtain land in an added county after sales closing (March 15), the Added County Election requires an individual to insure all crops in all added counties in which they have a share. Insured must designate by county/crop which insurance level, price election and options will apply by the sales closing date. Billing Dates July 1, 2017 Rye, Forage Production August 15, 2017 Spring Crops September 1, 2017 Pasture, Rangeland, Forage (PRF) Interest will attach on unpaid premium on the first of the month following the date of the bill, provided that a minimum of 30 days has passed from the billing date published above, regardless if there is an outstanding claim. If you have not reported your production for 2016, please report it to your FCS insurance agent as soon as possible.
3 MALTING BARLEY ENDORSEMENT (MBE) MBE allows producers to elect either yield protection or revenue protection. MBE insures malting barley with prices established in accordance with the malting contract (under terms of MBE), and provides additional quality protection for production that does not meet the quality specifications of the contract or Special Provisions (except seed). There are three ways to insure Malting Barley: 1) Yield Protection or Revenue Protection based on prices determined by the Commodity Exchange Price Provision no additional quality coverage 2) Yield Protection based on a price contained in a production contract no additional quality coverage 3) Yield Protection or Revenue Protection with additional quality protection provided with the Malting Barley Endorsement ACRES WITHOUT PLANTING HISTORY Acreage Emerging from USDA Program (CRP) Within the two most recent years (that is being planted to a crop for the first time since emerging from USDA Program) is insurable under the terms of the policy. APH will be 100% of the county T-yield (if no production records are available). Acreage emerging from CRP (that is not planted within two years of emerging from CRP) may be insurable by requesting a Written Agreement by March 15, (Refer to new breaking procedures.) Note Acres emerging from USDA Program and new breaking acres are not eligible for: Prevent Plant coverage the initial crop year. Simple average T-yields, added land procedures, personal T-yields, or master yields. New Breaking Acreage is insurable if the land has been planted and harvested or insured in any one of the three previous crop years (including insured acreage that was prevented from being planted). Acreage is not insurable if the only crop that has been planted and harvested in the three previous crop years is a cover, hay (except wheat harvested for hay), or forage crop (except insurable silage). An exception to the rule is if land was not planted to comply with another USDA program, such as CRP, acreage has been part of a normal rotation, or if acres are 5% or less of the insured planted acreage in the unit. APH will be limited to 50% - 80% of the published T-yield. New breaking coverage requests must be completed by March 15, INSURANCE PLANS Insurance plans provide different types of insurance coverage for specific crops: Actual Production History (APH) policies insure producers against yield losses due to natural causes such as drought, excessive moisture, hail, wind, frost, insects, and disease. The producer selects the level of coverage (50%-85%), and the price is established annually by RMA. If the harvested production plus any appraised production is less than the yield guarantee, the producer is paid an indemnity based on the difference. Yield Protection policies insure producers in the same manner as APH policies, except a projected price is used to determine insurance coverage. The projected price is determined in accordance with the Commodity Exchange Price Provisions and is based on daily settlement prices for certain futures contracts. Revenue Protection policies insure producers against yield losses due to natural causes and revenue losses caused by a change in the harvest price from the projected price. The producer selects the level of coverage (50%-85%). The projected price and harvest prices are determined in accordance with the Commodity Exchange Price Provisions and are based on daily settlement prices for certain futures contracts. The amount of insurance protection is based on the greater of the projected price or the harvest price. If the harvested production plus any appraised production multiplied by the harvest price is less than the amount of insurance protection, the producer is paid an indemnity based on the difference. Whole-Farm Revenue Protection (WFRP) plan of insurance provides a risk management safety net for all commodities on the farm under one insurance policy. The insurance plan is tailored for any farm with up to $8.5 million in insured revenue, including farms with specialty or organic commodities (both crops and livestock). The WFRP provides protection against the loss of revenue that the producer expects to earn, or will obtain, from commodities produced on the farm during the insurance period. Claims are settled after taxes are filed for the insurance year. A loss under the WFRP policy occurs when the WFRP revenue-to-count for the insured year falls below the WFRP insured revenue. For the Whole Farm History Report, the insured must provide five consecutive years of Schedule F or other farm tax forms ( ). Whole Farm Revenue Protection is available in all counties in all 50 states. WFRP application and additional supporting documentation must be submitted by March 15, Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) is designed to insure against declining market prices. Producers may select from a variety of coverage levels and periods of insurance that correspond with the time their market weight livestock would be sold. Producers can choose contract length (varying from 13 to 52 weeks), weight, coverage level, and number of livestock they want to insure. This insurance is available for cattle, lamb, and swine and can be purchased throughout the year. The insured must have possession of the cattle at the time the insurance is purchased and must retain ownership of the cattle up to 30 days prior to the contract end date.
4 ACTUAL PRODUCTION HISTORY (APH) Substitution of Yields (YA) If APH data contains yields lower than 60% of the county T-yield/PTY, the insured may choose to replace those low yields with 60% of the county T-yield/PTY. This will increase the APH guarantee. Premium is calculated on actual yields and may increase under this election. North Dakota Personal T-yield (PTY) Crop rotation requirements limit the ability of North Dakota policyholders to accumulate four years of actual records for a unit. With less than four years of actual records, the unit must use standard APH procedures (a county T-yield, a variable T-yield, or a simple average yield). The North Dakota PTY Pilot Program will more accurately reflect a producer s actual production capability. The program calculates a personal T-yield for a producer by combining all production and acres for a crop of the same practice/type/ variety/t-yield map area. This yield would then replace the T-yield in those units for the corresponding crop year(s). Trend-Adjusted Yields (TA) Trend-Adjusted (TA) yields for North Dakota are available for: wheat (entire state), barley, canola, dry beans, sunflowers, corn, and soybean (specific counties). Trend adjusted yields may increase yields in qualifying APH databases. Trend adjustments are made on each eligible yield within a qualifying database based on the county s historical yield trend, which is provided in the county actuarial documents. Insureds must be in an eligible county and have at least one APH database with an actual yield in one of the four most recent crop years for the crop/county. If the APH database contains fewer than four actual yields in the 12 most recent crop years, the trend adjustment is reduced. TA does not apply to CAT policies, APH databases with T-yields, PTY yields, SA T-yields, or new producer T-yields. Yield Exclusion (YE) RMA has identified eligible crop years in which producers may elect to exclude actual yields from their actual production history. Crop years are eligible when the average per planted acreage yield for the county was at least 50% below the simple average for the previous 10 consecutive crop years. Yield Exclusion Eligible Crops: barley, buckwheat, camelina, canola, corn, dry beans, dry peas, flax, forage production, mustard, oats, rye, safflowers, soybeans, sunflowers, wheat Yield Floor The yield floor is a percentage of the applicable T-yield based on the number of years of history the insured has provided for the crop and county. Yield Cups Approved APH yields may not decrease by more than 10% compared to the previous year s approved APH. If applicable, the yield floor and yield cups procedures will automatically be applied when updating APH databases. CROP ROTATION REQUIREMENTS Buckwheat Insurance will not attach to any acreage on which canola, crambe, chickpeas, dry beans, mustard, rapeseed, soybeans or sunflowers have been planted in the preceding crop year or on which buckwheat has been planted in either of the preceding two crop years.

SPRING PLANTING REMINDERS RMA Clarification on Prevent Plant Acreage is considered physically unavailable for planting if acreage has not been 1) insured under an FCIC policy, 2) planted to an insured crop using good farming practices, 3) harvested, 4) in at least one of the four most recent crop years (crop years immediately preceding the current insured crop year). Exception: Unless acreage was planted, insured, but not harvested due to an insured cause of loss and subsequently adjusted for claims purposes. Acreage will be considered physically unavailable for planting until the acreage has been planted to a crop in accordance with items 1-4 for two consecutive crop years. Prevented Planting Prevent Plant coverage, if applicable, may be available when a policyholder is prevented from planting an insured crop due to an insured cause of loss that is general to the area. Insured is required to submit a notice of loss within 72 hours after the final plant date or upon determination of not being able to plant the insured crop. To be eligible for Prevent Plant, new producers must complete an intended acreage report for the county by March 15. Acreage with a preexisting condition is not eligible for Prevent Plant coverage. Spring Projected Price will be used to calculate the prevented planting payment. There will be no additional payment if the Harvest Price is higher. New breaking acres and acres emerging from CRP are not eligible for Prevent Plant. Prevent Plant Acres will still be rolled to the next closest liability; however, the Prevent Plant payment cannot be greater than the original Prevent Plant liability. SPRING PLANTING REMINDERS cont. Adding a county after sales closing producers must submit an intended acreage report within 10 days of obtaining acreage in the new county (provided the added county was selected on the original application). Replant To be eligible for a replant payment, you must notify your agent PRIOR to replanting. Chemical or seed representatives cannot determine crop insurance replant payments. Replant payment is not available for CAT coverage. Clarification on Practical to Replant : It will be considered practical to replant within or prior to the Late Planting Period, unless otherwise determined by the Insurance Company. Destroying Acres Do not destroy (hay, graze, or plow) any insured acreage before an appraisal is made by an adjuster. This applies to all insured acres (including forage), even if there is no loss. Acreage Reporting The insured is responsible for the accuracy of information provided for acreage reporting for crop insurance purposes. At loss time, acres will be verified at FSA. Revisions to the acreage report after the reporting deadline can only be made with the consent of the insurance company. Acreage measurement services can be requested to verify acres. RMA requires all approved insurance providers to collect acreage reports at the Common Land Unit (CLU) level by farm/tract/field. This is currently how producers are reporting information to FSA. The field level of detail can potentially deliver efficiencies for agents and insureds in the areas of more detailed maps. This process will improve notice of loss information, allowing the adjusting staff to be more efficient and timely.
