§ 457.105 Extra long staple cotton crop insurance provisions.
The Extra Long Staple Cotton Crop Insurance Provisions for the 2017 and succeeding crop years are as follows:
Cotton. Varieties identified as Extra Long Staple (ELS) cotton and American Upland (AUP) cotton if ELS cotton is destroyed by an insured cause and acreage is replanted to AUP cotton.
ELS cotton. Extra Long Staple cotton (also called Pima cotton, American-Egyptian cotton, and American Pima cotton).
Harvest. The removal of the seed cotton from the open cotton boll, or the severance of the open cotton boll from the stalk by either manual or mechanical means.
Mature ELS cotton. ELS cotton that can be harvested either manually or mechanically.
Planted acreage. In addition to the definition contained in the Basic Provisions, cotton must be planted in rows, unless otherwise provided by the Special Provisions, actuarial documents, or by written agreement. The yield conversion factor normally applied to non-irrigated skip-row cotton acreage will not be used if the land between the rows of cotton is planted to any other spring planted crop.
Production guarantee. The number of pounds determined by multiplying the approved yield per acre by any applicable yield conversion factor for non-irrigated skip-row planting patterns, and multiplying the result by the coverage level percentage you elect.
Skip-row. A planting pattern that:
(1) Consists of alternating rows of cotton and fallow land or land planted to another crop the previous fall; and
(2) Qualifies as a skip-row planting pattern as defined by the Farm Service Agency (FSA) or a successor agency.
2. Insurance Guarantees, Coverage Levels, and Prices for Determining Indemnities In addition to the requirements of section 3 of the Basic Provisions ( § 457.8) you may select only one price election for all the cotton in the county insured under this policy.
3. Contract Changes The contract change date is November 30 preceding the cancellation date (see the provisions of section 4 of the Basic Provisions). 4. Cancellation and Termination Dates
In accordance with section 2 of the Basic Provisions ( § 457.8), the cancellation and termination dates are:
In accordance with section 8 of the Basic Provisions ( § 457.8), the crop insured will be all the cotton lint in the county for which premium rates are provided by the actuarial documents:
(a) In which you have a share; and
(b) That is not (unless allowed by the Special Provisions or by a written agreement):
(1) Planted into an established grass or legume;
(2) Interplanted with another spring planted crop;
(3) Grown on acreage from which a hay crop was harvested in the same calendar year unless the acreage is irrigated; or
(4) Grown on acreage on which a small grain crop reached the heading stage in the same calendar year unless the acreage is irrigated or adequate measures are taken to terminate the small grain crop prior to heading and less than fifty percent (50%) of the small grain plants reach the heading stage.
In addition to the provisions of section 9 of the Basic Provisions ( § 457.8):
(a) The acreage insured will be only the land occupied by the rows of cotton when a skip row planting pattern is utilized; and
(a) In lieu of section 11(b)(b)(2) of the Basic Provisions, insurance will end upon the removal of the cotton from the field.
(b) In accordance with the provisions of section 11 of the Basic Provisions ( § 457.8), the calendar date for the end of the insurance period is January 31 immediately following planting.
In accordance with the provisions of section 12 of the Basic Provisions ( § 457.8), insurance is provided only against the following causes of loss which occur within the insurance period:
(h) Failure of irrigation water supply, if applicable, due to an unavoidable cause of loss occurring within the insurance period.
(2) At our option or if required by FCIC in the Special Provisions, you may be required to leave the cotton stalks intact for our inspection. If applicable, the stalks must not be destroyed, and required samples must not be harvested, until the earlier of our inspection or 15 days after harvest of the balance of the unit is completed and written notice of probable loss is given to us.
(2) Subtracting from this the total production to count;
(3) Multiplying the remainder by your price election; and
(4) Multiplying this result by your share.
(C) Damaged solely by uninsured causes;
(D) For which you fail to provide records of production that are acceptable to us; or
(E) If applicable, on which the cotton stalks are destroyed, in violation of section 9.
(ii) Production lost due to uninsured causes; (iii) Unharvested production (mature unharvested production may be adjusted for quality deficiencies in accordance with subsection: (A) 10(d) and (e) if it is mature ELS cotton; or (B) 10(f) if it is AUP cotton insured under these crop provisions); and (iv) Potential production on insured acreage you want to put to another use or you wish to abandon or no longer care for, if you and we agree on the appraised amount of production. Upon such agreement the insurance period for that acreage will end if you put the acreage to another use or abandon the crop. If agreement on the appraised amount of production is not reached: (A) If you do not elect to continue to care for the crop, we may give you consent to put the acreage to another use if you agree to leave intact, and provide sufficient care for, representative samples of the crop in locations acceptable to us (The amount of production to count for such acreage will be based on the harvested production or appraisals from the samples at the time harvest should have occurred. If you do not leave the required samples intact, or you fail to provided sufficient care for the samples, our appraisal made prior to giving you consent to put the acreage to another use will be used to determine the amount of production to count.); or (B) If you elect to continue to care for the crop, the amount of production to count for the acreage will be the harvested production, or our reappraisal if additional damage occurs and the crop is not harvested; and (2) All harvested production from the insurable acreage, including any mature cotton retrieved from the ground. (d) Mature ELS cotton production may be adjusted for quality when production has been damaged by insured causes. Such production to count will be reduced if Price A is less than 85 percent of Price B.
(e) For ELS cotton to be eligible for quality adjustment as shown in subsection 10(d), ginning must have been completed at a gin using roller equipment. (f) Mature AUP cotton harvested or appraised from acreage originally planted to ELS cotton in the same growing season will be reduced by the factor obtained by dividing the price per pound for AUP cotton by the price per pound for ELS cotton. The prices used for AUP and ELS cotton will be calculated using the Upland Cotton National Average Loan Rate determined by FSA and the Extra Long Staple Cotton National Average Loan Rate determined by FSA, or as specified in the Special Provisions.
(a) In addition to the provisions contained in section 17 of the Basic Provisions, your prevented planting production guarantee will be based on your approved yield without adjustment for skip-row planting patterns.
(b) Your prevented planting coverage will be a percentage specified in the actuarial documents of your production guarantee for timely planted acreage. If you have additional levels of coverage and pay an additional premium, you may increase your prevented planting coverage if such additional coverage is specified in the actuarial documents.
