The USDA reminds agricultural producers that the final dates to apply for or make changes to their existing crop insurance coverage is approaching for spring planted crops. While one closing date has already passed, the remaining major closing dates are March 15 and April 15.
The USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA) lists the closing dates in the Actuarial Information Brower under the “Dates” tab. Producers can also access the RMA Map Viewer tool to visualize the insurance program date choices for acreage reporting, cancelation, contract changes, earliest planting dates, and other important details.
Producers are encouraged to visit their crop insurance agent to learn specific details for the 2025 crop year. Crop insurance coverage decisions must be made on or before the sales closing date.
