USDA Reminds Producers Considering Double Crop of their Crop Insurance Options

Options are available for producers to insure double crop soybeans, grain sorghum and other crops in counties where the Following Another Crop (FAC) practice is not available. If you’re in one of these counties, you may be able to request coverage through your insurance agent if you plant:

• Soybeans and other crops after wheat or other small grains; or
• In some areas soybeans into wheat using a relay cropping practice.

You have until July 15 to submit the request your crop insurance agent.

In addition to these 2022 crop year options, RMA is actively working with stakeholders to identify areas to expand double cropping coverage for the 2023 crop year. This initiative may include expanding where FAC is allowed permanently or by considering other flexibilities and expanding where written agreements are allowed.
