Multi-Peril Crop Insurance

MPCI in all of its forms provides protection against crop yield loss by allowing policy holders to insure a chosen percentage of their Actual Production History (APH). Policies protect a variety of crops against all natural perils. 

Crop-Hail Insurance

Crop-Hail products insure against the perils of hail, fire, lightning and transit.  These products allow the grower added flexibility when it comes to protecting one's investment.  Policies include various coverage levels and deductibles.  Within the crop insurance field it has long been assumed that your MPCI covers your expenses and your Crop-Hail covers your profits.

2025 Production Needed

​If you have not turned in your 2025 production information, please stop by the office. We need your harvest information, as well as, a signature on your Production Report to wrap up this crop insurance year. The deadline for a loss is December 10th (bushel) or Dec 15th (revenue).

2025 Harvest Season 

  • Silage/Earlage/Wet Corn: 
    • Please call our office if you intend to harvest crops for feed. An adjuster will appraise the crop prior to harvesting, providing the necessary hard records and eliminating the need to keep feed records. Advanced notice is expected and allows our adjusters to plan more efficiently. 
  • Commingling Old and New Crop: 
    • It is necessary to have a bin storing old crop measured before commingling with this years grain. An adjuster will provide you with the necessary hard records to keep your crop year's separate in the case of a review. Call our office to request a bin measurement if you are planning to commingle crop years. 
  • Combining 
    • ​Remember that good harvest records count as soft records for determining yields at the optional unit level. Harvest records should include the crop harvested, the date harvested, the legal, and crop insurance unit number. Also, be sure to keep records at the optional unit level (by section) even if you have opted and qualified for enterprise units. 
  • Production Reporting
    • ​Don't forget that reporting your harvested bushels to the Buck Agency Office is an important step in the harvest season. By reporting early, we will be able to submit a timely Notice of Loss if there is one found. Losses need to be turned within 72 hours of discovery, but no later than 45 days after the Harvest Price or the end of the insurance period (December 10th for corn/soybeans).
