How strong yields affect your coverage
Above-average yields can have a positive impact on
Production Insurance coverage by raising a farm's AFY, which provides farmers with higher coverage when they need it most. Higher coverage means more protection from yield reductions and crop losses caused by factors beyond a farmer's control, including adverse weather, disease, pests, wildlife or other uncontrollable natural perils.
