Background

As announced today, Risk Management Agency (RMA) has developed the Multi-County Enterprise Unit (MCEU) Endorsement in response to requests to incorporate small amounts of acreage from one county into an enterprise unit for a contiguous county. The MCEU Endorsement attaches to eligible Common Crop Insurance Policy, Basic Provisions, and Crop Provisions for the insured crop and allows a producer to combine acreage of an insured crop, by irrigation practice, if applicable, in two contiguous counties in the same state into one enterprise unit (EU).
