Background

The Risk Management Agency (RMA) issued Manager’s Bulletin MGR-019-014 on June 11, 2019, regarding the 2020 Fall County Crops Program Expansion. The attachment, 2020 Expansion of Existing Fall Crops Programs listed “Alfalfa” under the “Crop” section which is a typographical error. The correct crop program expansion is “Alfalfa Seed.”

The Federal Crop Insurance Act (Act) allows developers of approved privately-developed crop insurance products (“508(h) products”) to maintain their 508(h) products and charge a user fee to approved insurance providers (AIP) that elect to sell the policy. Section 522(b)(4)(D)(ii) of the Act and 7 C.F.R. 400.712(l)(5) provide that the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) Board of Directors (Board) will determine the reasonableness and approve the amount of user fee that is payable to the developer by the AIP.

Background

The following attachments, 2020 Expansion of Existing Fall Crops Programs, lists the expansion by crop, state, and county for permanently-established (non-pilot) programs.

Action

Background

Producers in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin continue to be impacted by wet weather and muddy field conditions that have prevented field activity. Additionally, many acres of failed fall-seeded crops, like winter wheat and barley, have been appraised and released for termination. However, the excess moisture has delayed the normal and customary timeframe for mechanical or chemical termination of the crops.
