You MUST sign-up no later than January 31 to have coverage for the upcoming crop year.

How does it work?
The federal crop insurance program is the only subsidized insurance plan that provides coverage against perils for your growing crops. Crop insurance is an integral part of Pan American’s valued growers' risk management plan.

The best way to understand the Federal Crop Insurance Program is by looking at an example:
Say we have a grower with 100 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon in Napa County who averages 4.0 tons per acre and has Catastrophic (CAT) Coverage.  During harvest, extreme moisture damages the crop (the crop was harvested though determined to be a total loss):

How much coverage do you have at CAT level?
200 Tons Guaranteed (50% of average yield)

For a $300 enrolment fee, you can obtain catastrophic coverage for your crops, irrespective of the acreage planted.  For a higher level of coverage, Pan American can help you obtain "buy-up" insurance.

To have coverage for the upcoming year, don’t forget to sign up by January 31^st.

Please contact Greg Merrill  to discuss coverage options, causes of loss and insurable crop and acreage qualifications.
