The following determination(s) may be made by Approved Insurance Providers (AIP) in accordance with the Risk Management Agency’s (RMA) procedures:</p>
<ul>
    <li>AIPs may authorize policyholders, on a case-by-case basis, more time to attempt to harvest the crop so claims can be settled based on harvested production, in accordance with subparagraph 702B of the Loss Adjustment Manual Standards Handbook (LAM). An AIP may allow additional time to harvest when the following conditions are met:
    <ul>
        <li>The insured provides a timely notice of loss to their crop insurance agent;</li>
        <li>The AIP determines and documents that the delay in harvest was due to an insured cause of loss;</li>
        <li>The insured demonstrates that harvest was not possible due to insured causes; and</li>
        <li>The delay in harvest was not because the insured did not have sufficient equipment or manpower to harvest the crop by the EOIP. </li>
    </ul>
    </li>
</ul>
<ul>
    <li>AIPs may make final inspections in accordance with paragraph 702 of the LAM. AIPs will account for all insured acres of the crop that were harvested or unharvested and appraised.  This will include applying quality adjustment as outlined in the Coarse Grains Crop Provisions (CP), applicable State/County Special Provisions, and the Corn Loss Adjustment Standards Handbook.</li>
    <li>AIPs may require the insured to leave representative sample areas in accordance with paragraph 924 of the LAM. Representative sample areas are used when deferred appraisals (subparagraph 921B of the LAM) are required and the insured requests immediate release of the acreage.</li>
    <li>AIPs may settle claims based on the appraisal from the remaining unharvested acres. Follow LAM procedure regarding final disposition of a crop.</li>

For example, according to the corn LASH, corn maturity depends on the stage of growth at the time of appraisal.  “Fully mature” means physiological maturity has been reached and the moisture level is below 40 percent on most Corn Belt hybrids.

This sampling requirement is applicable to all crops eligible for quality adjustment in the Special Provisions.  <br>
<br>
However, in accordance with Manager’s Bulletin No. MGR-20-002, RMA extended the deadline to collect crop sample(s) that are intended for quality adjustment determinations for the 2019 crop year only, when an AIP has granted additional time to harvest due to extreme winter conditions including ice and snow.  The required deadline to obtain crop samples for quality adjustment purposes is not later than 120-days after the calendar date for the EOIP for 2019 crop year open claims where the crop is currently not harvested.  AIPs must obtain timely crop samples for the insured to be eligible for quality adjustment determinations in accordance with the Special Provisions.</div>

<p>
RMA issued Manager’s Bulletin No. MGR-20-003 on February 20, 2020 to provide additional clarity regarding the application of prevented planting eligibility requirements for added land that is new to the insured operation.  <br>
<br>
When making prevented planting coverage determinations, approved insurance providers (AIPs) may consider conditions at the time the new tenant (insured) takes possession of the added acreage. This may require determining if a cause of loss exists at the time the insured takes possession of added land that may prevent planting.<br>
<br>
When determining if there is a cause of loss that “may prevent planting,” factors AIPs should consider include, but are not limited to: </p>
<ul>
    <li>Historical Weather Patterns.
    <ul>
        <li>Is the current condition common for the region at this time of year?</li>
        <li>Do these conditions typically resolve in time to result in availability to plant by the final planting date?</li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    <li>Timing of the Final Planting Date.
    <ul>
        <li>How likely is it that a cause of loss present prior to the final planting date will impact planting?</li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    <li>Insured’s Individual Planting History. </li>
</ul>
<p>AIPs should evaluate these types of factors and document such in the insured’s loss file to support prevented planting coverage determinations on added land. <br>
<br>
For example, a landlord and tenant enter into a signed lease agreement on January 1. At the time the lease was executed, there was an unharvested crop from the previous tenant in the field and a cause of loss that could prevent planting. On March 1 of the same year, the previous tenant harvests the crop and the new tenant assumes possession of the acreage. Based on conditions at the time of possession, the AIP determines there was not a cause of loss present that could prevent planting and provides prevented planting coverage on the added acreage.</p></div>
