MGR-19-008: Flooding 2018 Claims
Background
Record-level flooding has caused catastrophic damage in many counties in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. Many insureds in these areas suffered production losses through flooded and/or collapsed grain storage structures. Multiple-peril crop insurance coverage ceases at the end of insurance period, which is the earlier of the date of harvest or the date specified in the actuarial documents. Thus, any damage to or loss of production that occurs while in storage is not covered under the Federal crop insurance program.
