Crop Insurance Deadline Nears in Virginia

The USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA) reminds Virginia, livestock producers of the availability of the Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) insurance for Fed Cattle, Feeder Cattle, and Swine. Livestock producers interested in LRP are encouraged to apply for the endorsement.

Crop insurance provides coverage to protect you against a declining market price during the insurance period. Additional information can be found on the Actuarial Information Browser page on the RMA website.

RMA is authorizing additional flexibilities due to coronavirus while continuing to support producers, working through Approved Insurance Providers (AIPs) to deliver services, including processing policies, claims, and agreements. RMA staff are working with AIPs and other customers by phone, mail and electronically to continue supporting crop insurance coverage for producers. Farmers with crop insurance questions or needs should continue to contact their insurance agents about conducting business remotely (by telephone or email). More information can be found at farmers.gov/coronavirus.

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. Producers can use the RMA Cost Estimator to get a premium amount estimate of their insurance needs online. Learn more about crop insurance and the modern farm safety net at www.rma.usda.gov.
