RMA Revises Dates for the Pasture, Rangeland and Forage and Apiculture Insurance Programs
Agricultural producers will now have until December 1st to make coverage decisions and complete reporting activities for the Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Pilot Insurance Program (PRF) and Apiculture Pilot Insurance Program (API). The USDA’s Risk Management Agency is making changes to these two policies based on feedback from stakeholders.
RMA is revising the dates for the sales closing, acreage/colony reporting, cancellation, and termination of the PRF and API insurance programs from November 15 to December 1. For PRF, RMA is also increasing reporting flexibility by allowing the USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) acreage report (form FSA-578) to be used in conjunction with other documents to verify insurable interest.
