We received some more rain and the questions that are coming in are what my process is if my corn needs to be replanted.
To answer that question you first need to contact your agent so they can get an adjuster to you. The rule is you cannot replant any ground before an adjuster visits with you on your situation, they will not pay if the adjuster has not talked with you prior to replanting. The second thing is if you are not sure if you will need to replant call us anyway. We can turn in a replant claim and after you visit with the adjuster and you decide you don’t need to replant then they will just withdrawal the claim. Just remember call before you replant.
Don’t forget about the hail storms that will be coming and that will damage your growing crops. We can help you protect them with Crop Hail Insurance; give us a call to cover your crops from that damaging Hail.
If you have any questions or if we can help you with your crop insurance needs call 800-281-4020 your connection to crop protection.

Depending on your company, the forms will also show your plant dates for the crops you are insuring. So check it out and call your agent if you have any questions.

Are you ready for the 2010 Crop year for wheat? It is time to inform your insurance agent and sign up for 2010 Wheat coverage. The deadline to sign up is Wednesday, September 30th.
The RA Wheat price Guarantee came in at $5.42 off the Kansas City Board of Trade, and the CRC Wheat price Guarantee came in at $5.29 off the Chicago Board of Trade. Both of these products are virtually the same except where the price is established off of. These 2 products have yield and price protection. If you would have a loss before harvest, than they would pay you off the base price established. Then at harvest time they set the harvest price from the Board of trade and if the price is higher than base then they will pay you the higher of the 2 on any yield loss. If the harvest price is lower than the base price then, you could get paid for price loss depending on your harvested yield and your guarantee. You need to check with your agent on which product would be best for you.
Again Deadline to sign up for wheat coverage or to change any coverage’s you currently have is Wednesday Sept 30th.

Wheat Sales Closing

This is Tanya Stimpson with this weeks crop insurance updated brought to you by the Sewell Agency in Chillicothe and ASI Insurance.
Wheat signup is coming near. You have until September 30th to sign up for wheat coverage. This is also the time to make any changes to your current Wheat insurance policies. The base price on wheat for CRC is running at $5.29 and the RA is at $5.42. The CRC and RA policies allow coverage on yield and price. First off if you have a low yield your claim would be paid on the base price of your policy which is the 5.29 or the 5.42 amount. Then at harvest time they run an average off of the Board of Trade and if it comes in higher than the lower than the base amount then the insurance will pick up the difference. Reminder the Base and Harvest Price is averaged off of the Board of Trade.
If you are signed up with any programs down at FSA you might visit with them on what all you need insured they do have programs that you are required to insure all of your crops.
During signup, take time to check over your policy information. Look at your policy type, spelling of your name, SS# and if your spouse is on the policy correctly. If you see any errors work with your agent to get them changed. Again you have until September 30th to change or sign up for the 2010 Wheat Insurance coverage’s.

The recent stormy weather reminds us of what can happen be sure you have your crop hail insurance in place. As little as ½ bushel of your crop can provide $100’s of dollars of coverage per acre.
On the crop insurance side:
Corn can be planted until June 5th without any yield guarantee reduction. Soybeans until June 20th. Don’t forget if you have to replant call your agent first let him register your claim.
The weather out look is favorable for the coming weeks and maybe we will finally get in the fields.
Farmers have a lot to do and the weather has shortened the time we have to do it. If you are following a tractor or meeting one on the road, be patient most all farmers will let you pass just as soon as it is safe. They don’t like holding up traffic either.
