Raspberry Insurance Plan
The Crop Insurance Plan for Raspberries provides protection from a reduction in yield of raspberries caused by designated perils that are beyond the control of the producer. The below information is intended to be a quick reference only. For the full plan Regulations click here.
Coverage
This plan provides protection from a wide range of insurable perils that can impact your raspberry crop. These perils include:
- Winter Injury
- Hail
- Spring Frost
- Wind
- Adverse Weather
- Insects
- Plant Disease
- Excessive Moisture
- Drought
- Unavoidable Pollination Failure
- Wildlife
- Wildfire
Every raspberry crop insurance contract is tailored to the yield potential on your farm. An Average Insurance Yield (AIY) is calculated based on your yield history.
Reporting and Claiming
If crop damage occurs during the growing season, you must notify the Commission within 5 days. If you suspect reduced yields while you are harvesting, you must also notify the Commission within 5 days.
When you make a claim for production losses, a Field Services Agent will visit to verify the yield. Each year, a logbook will be provided for you to record your harvest and sales. It is important to use this book to streamline the claim process. If you have any questions about the record keeping requirements, please contact one of our agents.
How to Enroll
To insure your raspberry production for this year's crop, you must submit the application form along with a $50 premium deposit by October 31st.
Our agent will visit in the spring (around blossom time) to verify the insured acreage.
