Due to excess moisture, delayed harvest situations, and freezing temperatures in parts of Minnesota and North Dakota, processors are rejecting harvest and delivery of remaining unharvested sugar beets for the 2018 Crop Year. As a result, unharvested sugar beets are still frozen in the ground due to an insurable cause of loss that occurred during the insurance period.
Cotton producers experienced, and continue to experience, a significant amount of wet weather during the 2018 cotton harvest, resulting in the quality (seed sprouting, mold, etc.) of both unharvested cotton and cotton modules rapidly deteriorating in the field. Gins are rejecting damaged modules, as well as samples of unharvested cotton, resulting in unmarketable cotton and cottonseed.
The 2018 CY harvest prices shown below are for the Revenue Protection and Revenue Protection with Harvest Price Exclusion plans of insurance. The harvest prices are applicable for the crops, types, and states with a March 15, 2018, sales closing date.
