Crop insurance deadline nears for Georgia cabbage growers
Posted on Jun 13, 2018 at 0:00 AM
Georgia cabbage producers have until July 1 to apply for crop insurance coverage or make changes to their existing coverage under the 2014 farm bill.
Crop insurance provides protection against a loss in production due to natural perils, such as drought or excessive moisture. Coverage is available for cabbage grown in Brooks, Colquitt, Tift and Toombs counties.
Growers are encouraged to visit their crop insurance agent soon to learn specific details for the 2019 crop year. A list of crop insurance agents is available at all USDA Service Centers by visiting the RMA agent locator at www.rma.usda.gov/tools/agent.html. Growers can use the RMA cost estimator at bit.ly/rmacost to get a premium amount estimate of their insurance needs online.
