Crop insurance may also be obtained from private crop insurers. Assistance can be obtained at local FSA offices in most states, or from private crop insurance agents for a nominal processing fee. Producers who decide not to buy crop insurance when it is available may still participate in USDA commodity, conservation, and credit programs. However, they must sign a waiver agreeing to give up eligibility for emergency crop disaster assistance. In addition, any losses resulting from natural disasters not covered by the crop insurance policy may also be eligible.
Assistance is available for crops grown commercially for food and fiber.
Floriculture, ornamental nursery products, Christmas tree crops, turfgrass sod, seed crops, aquaculture, and industrial crops are also included.
