Barley with Winter Protection

All winter and spring types of barley are insurable in the county if:

• You have a share; and
• The type(s) is planted for intended harvest as grain.

The winter coverage endorsement provides additional protection for winter types. For more information about the barley insurance plan, please see the barley fact sheet.

Additional coverage is available under this endorsement for barley damaged between the time coverage begins and the spring-type final planting date. All eligible acreage of the crop must be insured.

Whenever any winter barley is damaged during the insurance period and at least 20 acres or 20 percent of the acreage in the unit (whichever is less) does not have an adequate stand to produce at least 90 percent of the production guarantee for the acreage, you may:

• Continue to care for the damaged crop;
• Replant the acreage to an appropriate variety of the insured crop (if it is practical) and receive a replanting payment; or
• Destroy the remaining crop and accept the appraised amount of production.

By accepting this winter coverage endorsement, the contract change, cancellation, and termination dates for barley in the county will be applicable to your spring and winter barley.
