 III - Crop Insurance
The catastrophic nature of many crop related perils led to the development of two types of crop insurance: crop-hail insurance, which is provided by the private marketplace, and the multiple peril crop insurance program, which is overseen and subsidized by the federal government and sold and serviced by private insurers.
There are two kinds of crop insurance: crop-hail, which is provided by the private sector, and multiple peril, an all-risk coverage underwritten by the private sector and the federal government and serviced mostly by the private sector.
Coverage takes effect once the crop is planted, but the crop must be planted before the last government established planting date by crop and by county.

 EPA - Ag 101, Crop Production Irrigation
Crops have critical periods during the growing season when soil moisture must be maintained to ensure optimal yields.
The entire surface can be flooded (most often used for crops that are sown, drilled, or seeded) or the water can be applied through furrows between the rows (for row crops).
The need to irrigate is usually driven by the necessity to meet the water needs of the crop from year to year (some areas of the country simply receive too little rainfall during the growing season to support economical crop growth).

 Crop Policies
Date to file notice of crop damage - after damage; the date the producer decides to discontinue caring for the crop; prior to the beginning of harvest; immediately, if farmer determines that the crop is damaged after harvest begins; or the end of the insurance period, whichever is earlier.
In areas where an established crop policy is not available, farmers may request that their RMA Regional Office expand the program to their county the next crop year.
Farmers are required to have documented experience in growing the crop, or in growing an agronomically similar crop, to obtain the agreement.

 Multiple Peril Crop Insurance
The basic insurance unit is all insurable acreage of the insured crop in the county on the date coverage begins for the crop year in which the producer has a 100 percent share or which is owned by one entity and operated by another specific entity on a share basis.
Producers may cancel the policy, a crop, a county, or a specific crop in a specific county, after the first effective crop year, by providing written notice to the insurance provider on or before the cancellation date shown in the applicable crop provisions.
When the policy allows, optional units may be established, provided the crop is planted in a manner that results in a clear and discernible break in the planting pattern at the boundaries of each optional unit, and the producer keeps separate identifiable records of planted acreage and harvested production for each optional unit.
