Production Insurance for peace of mind and affordable, dependable coverage. So what exactly do farmers get with this coverage?
- A guaranteed level of production for their crops
- Claim prices that reflect market prices
- With winterkill coverage, replant coverage if their
winter wheat, winter barley, or winter canola does not survive the winter
- Quality factoring that may be applied to a yield of lower quality wheat, increasing the likelihood and size of a payment

pedigreed seed production coverage to add a specialized risk management option. This coverage uses the same yield-based approach customers are already familiar with, but it also includes a germination guarantee and a higher price option to reflect the value of the crop.
To sign up for pedigreed seed production coverage, contact Agricorp by November 8.
