Multi Peril Policies

Revenue Protection policies insure producers against yield losses due to natural causes such as drought, excessive moisture, hail, wind, frost, insects, and disease, and revenue losses caused by a change in the harvest price from the projected price. 

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 future contracts. The producer selects the percent of the projected price he or she wants to insure, between 55 and 100 percent. 

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. 

SCO is an area-based policy endorsement that can be purchased to supplement an underlying crop insurance policy. It covers a portion of losses not covered by the same crop’s underlying policy and provides additional coverage for a portion of the underlying crop insurance policy deductible. The Federal Government subsidizes 65 percent of the premium for SCO. There are separate premium and administrative fees for SCO by crop/county. 

Stacked Income Protection Plan for Upland Cotton (STAX) is a crop insurance product for upland cotton that provides coverage for a portion of the expected revenue for the area the upland cotton is produced. Most often the area will be the county, but it may include other counties or even practices as necessary to obtain a substantial amount of data to establish an expected yield and premium rate. STAX may be purchased on its own, or in conjunction with another policy, also known as a “companion policy.”
