Green Pea- Canning and Freezing

All shell type and pod type green peas are insurable if:

• Grown under a processor contract; and
• A premium rate is provided by the actuarial documents.

You are protected against the following:

• Adverse weather conditions, including excessive moisture that prevents harvesting equipment from entering the field or that prevents the timely operation of harvesting equipment and abnormally hot or cold temperatures that cause an unexpected number of acres over a large producing area to be ready for harvest at the same time, affecting the timely harvest of a large number of such acres or the processing of such production is beyond the capacity of the processor, either of which causes the acreage to be bypassed;
• Earthquake;
• Failure of the irrigation water supply, if due to a cause of loss that occurs during the insurance period;
• Fire;
• Insects, but not damage due to insufficient or improper application of pest control measures;
• Plant disease, but not damage due to insufficient or improper application of disease control measures and only on acreage not planted to peasthe previous year (in certain instances, contained in the special provisions or a written agreement,acreage planted to peas the previous year may be covered);
• Volcanic eruption; or
• Wildlife.

The insurance policy does not insure any loss of production due to bypassed acreage because of the breakdown or non-operation of equipment or facilities, or the availability of a crop insurance payment. The insurance provider may deny any indemnity immediately in such circumstance or, if an indemnity has been paid, require you to repay it to them with interest at any time acreage was bypassed due to the availability of a crop insurance payment; or your failure to follow the requirements contained in the processor contract.

Coverage begins at the time of planting and ends with the earliest occurrence of one of the following:

• The crop was destroyed;
• The crop should have been harvested but was not harvested;
• Abandonment of the crop;
• The crop is harvested;
• The date you harvest sufficient production to fulfill the processor contract if the processor contract stipulates a specific amount of production to be delivered;
• Final adjustment of a loss on a unit; or
• September 15 (September 30 if you provided notice that the crop will be harvested as dry peas).
