Big news from the RMA! ECO & MCO subsidies increased to 80% as well as the SCO previously announced. This will make ECO & MCO even more affordable with great coverage options.

[Dick Sims Crop Insurance - Celebrating 72 years! @simscropins]

Hot off the press from the RMA on OBBBA updates:
SCO, ECO, MCO subsidies increased to 80% (from 65%).
SCO to 90% won't be available until 2027
Can still take ECO 86-90% which would take the place of SCO to 90%.
BFR benefits extended to 10 years.

CROP INSURANCE UPDATE:
It’s no shocker that Fall prices are lower… but that means even if you harvested higher yields than your 10 year APH, you may still have a revenue claim - pending unit structure on the policy. Call us to help run your numbers and see if there's a claim!
