Deadline extended to September 30th!

[Farm Service Agency @usdaFSA]

Farmers who experienced quality losses to eligible crops, trees, bushes and vines now have more flexibility when it comes to documenting those losses. Additionally, we’ve extended the deadline to Sept. 30, 2026, for both stages to give producers more time. https://t.co/6jjUuCHn4g

BIG NEWS! "The RMA is authorizing AIPs to provide producers with up to 60 additional days to pay crop insurance premiums". We will make sure to include in our newsletter we are sure all our insureds read 😉, but please tell all your friends!

Due to a power outage, the MAC office will be closed this afternoon. We are working remotely; please contact your agent with any issues. Thank you!

As a reminder, wind coverage begins at the 7th leaf stage. To those without wind coverage, tomorrow would be the time to sign-up if you are concerned.

[Kevin Lighty - WCIA 3 Chief Meteorologist @KevinLighty]

Ok folks, big heads up for Thursday. A rather intense line of storms is expected to blow through. This could be a high end wind event. This is one of those 80+mph setups. Stay weather aware as we fine tune the forecast.

Small grain RMA yields have been released. Looks like our local wheat producers crushed it in 2025!

The remaining RMA yields (corn, beans for example) will be released by mid-June. At that time, we can calculate any possible SCO/ECO payments for 2025.

[MidwestAgriCredit @MAC_CropIns]

Not "official" until next week, but we are looking at $4.62 and $11.09.

And now the final leg of the race begins! Two weeks to get with your agent and solidify your risk plan for this year!

These should be the final corn, soybean, spring wheat, & cotton base price & volatility for 3/15 SCD states, pending RMA approval. @NAUCountry

It's a good idea to plan for longer than usual crop insurance mtgs this year; we have a lot of information to cover!
It is important to work with an agent who understands the new program changes. Call Kelli & the MAC Team to help you navigate the best options for your operation!

[MidwestAgriCredit @MAC_CropIns]

Are your yields in-line with the expected County yield? Check with your agent to learn how these county yields affect SCO/ECO coverage and how these programs may be a great fit for your operation in 2026!

1/ Many farmers will be considering the Supplemental and Enhanced Coverage Options (SCO and ECO) this year, as #subsidy levels for these federal #crop #insurance products have been increased from 65% to 80%.

Are you aware of all the new changes to crop insurance for this year? Ella and the MAC Team are ready to help you work through the best risk management fit for your operation. It's time to sign!

[MidwestAgriCredit @MAC_CropIns]

If you haven't taken a look at ECO in the past, this is a year to do so. Talk with your agent to learn how this 95% coverage option works. With an 80% subsidy, this product is extremely popular!

[MidwestAgriCredit @MAC_CropIns]

We are excited to see everyone at Gordyville next week!

[MidwestAgriCredit @MAC_CropIns]

"Producers will know their 2026 production and yields before they decide whether to elect and subsequently enroll in ARC or PLC for the 2026 crop year".

BIG CHANGE! However, your very important crop insurance election is still March 15 😉
