Aflatoxin | Asian Soybean Rust “Insured producers who are concerned about the impact of Asian soybean rust must be knowledgeable of any pending outbreaks and the control methods recommended by local agricultural experts, such as extension agents, used in their area to combat the disease. Producers should also talk with their crop insurance agent about complying with the terms of their crop insurance policy. While disease is an insured peril under the Federal Crop Insurance Program, damage due to the insufficient or improper application of available disease control measures is not. In all cases, it is important for insured producers to document what actions they took to combat this disease. Failure to purchase and apply adequate control measures due to economic reasons is not an insurable cause of loss. Under the terms of the Common Crop Insurance Policy, a practice is considered a good farming practice if agricultural experts agree that the production method used will allow the crop to make normal progress toward maturity and produce at least the yield used to determine the production guarantee. Following good farming practices also applies to Group Risk Plan and Group Risk Income Protection policyholders. For an insured producer to receive an indemnity, insurance providers must verify that losses are unavoidable due to naturally occurring events and that producers followed good farming practices. This is true for all insured producers regardless of their plan of insurance: individual or group, production or revenue.” Taken from http://www.rma.usda.gov Illinois Soybean Rust Information Center: Top Soybean Rust News: |
