Multi-Peril Crop Insurance

Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) is a federally subsidized and regulated insurance policy covering yield and revenue losses caused by natural events including drought, excess moisture, hail, wind, frost, disease, fire, flooding and insect damage. The United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Risk Management Agency (RMA) offers several different plans for more than 120 different crops throughout the United States.      

INDIVIDUAL CROP POLICIES

Revenue Protection (RP)

RP protects insureds against loss of revenue resulting from a drop in prices, low yields or a combination of both below the yield and/or revenue guarantee of the policy. The amount of insurance protection is established using a data base created with actual yields from your farm as well as the greater of the projected spring price or harvest fall price.

Revenue Protection-Harvest Price Exclusion (RP-HPE)

RP-HPE protects insureds against a revenue loss, providing the same initial guarantee as a RP policy. The amount of insurance protection is established using a data base created with actual yields from your farm, however, price is determined solely using the projected spring price. No harvest fall price available.

Any additional information we should include here? 

Yield Protection (YP)

YP provides protection only against yield loss. The amount of insurance protection is established using a data base created with actual yields from your farm. Price is determined solely on projected spring price. No harvest fall price available. Loss is only paid if the final farm production is lower than the yield guarantee established by the policy purchased.

Individual farm revenues and yields are not considered during the policy guarantee or claim calculations under ARP. Price is determined by the greater of the projected spring price or harvest fall price.
