The Risk Management Agency
RMA released the Multi-County Enterprise Unit Pilot Endorsement (19-MCEU) and its implementation procedures in Manager’s Bulletin MGR-18-017. The industry has requested clarification regarding unit structure correction when an insured does not qualify for MCEU or does not designate primary/secondary counties.
Section 11110 of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 increased the Catastrophic Risk Protection (CAT) Endorsement administrative fee from $300 to $655 for each crop in the county.
The Federal Crop Insurance Act mandates that the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) offer a catastrophic risk protection plan to indemnify producers for decreases in yield due to natural causes of loss. It covers losses greater than 50 percent loss in yield, indemnified at 55 percent of the expected market price. FCIC generally subsidizes the entire premium amount.
Approved Insurance Providers (AIPs) are required to review eligible crop insurance contracts identified by the criteria in Appendix IV of the Standard Reinsurance Agreement or as otherwise specified by the Risk Management Agency (RMA). These include Actual Production History (APH) reviews. The Common Crop Insurance Policy Basic Provisions (BP) provides, in part, that if the insured does not have written verifiable records to support the information on the production report, the insured will receive an assigned yield in their APH.
The Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (Farm Bill) enacted on December 20, 2018, altered the definition of Beginning Farmer or Rancher (BFR) for the purposes of the Whole-Farm Revenue Protection (WFRP) plan of insurance.
The WFRP Pilot Policy currently defines a BFR as:
A farmer or rancher who has not actively operated and managed a farm or ranch with a bona fide insurable interest in a crop or livestock as an owner-operator, landlord, tenant, or sharecropper for more than 5 crop years.
