(Wisconsin Ag Connection) USDA's Risk Management Agency reminds Wisconsin producers that the final date to apply for crop insurance for fall-planted crops, such as cultivated wild rice, forage production, grass seed, mint, rye, and wheat, is September 30 for the 2022 crop year.

According to the Wisconsin Ag Connection, current policyholders who wish to make changes to their existing coverage also have until the deadline. Federal crop insurance is critical to the farm safety net.

It helps producers and owners manage revenue risks and strengthens the rural economy. Producers may select from several coverage options, including yield coverage, revenue protection, and area risk policies.

Additional information can be found on the Actuarial Information Browser page on the RMA website. Producers are encouraged to visit their crop insurance agent soon to learn specific details for the 2022 crop year.

Crop insurance is sold and delivered solely through private crop insurance agents. A list of crop insurance agents is available online using the RMA Agent Locator. Learn more about crop insurance and the modern farm safety net at www.rma.usda.gov
