Late Planting Wheat and Crop Insurance

Gary Schnitkey (October, 2009)

Summary

Wheat plantings have been delayed this fall, again bringing up decisions related to crop insurance. This article covers crop insurance implications for Actual Production History (APH), Crop Revenue Coverage (CRC), and Revenue Assurance (RA) policies. These farm-level policies have late planting and prevented planting provisions. Group Risk Plan (GRP) and Group Risk Income Plan (GRIP) policies do not have late or prevented planting provisions. Before GRP and GRIP policies provide coverage, wheat must be planted.
