Every vegetable (processing carrots) crop insurance contract is tailored to the yield potential on your farm. An Average Insurable Yield (AIY) is calculated based on your yield history.
Reporting and Claiming
If crop damage occurs during the crop year, 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 verify your yield.
How to Enroll
To insure your processing carrot production for this year's crop, you must submit the application form and a $50 premium deposit by March 14th.
Once you have completed seeding, you report the area that you have planted no later than 10 days after the final planting date.
