In addition to crop insurance, the deadline to finalize the Price Loss Coverage or Agriculture Risk Coverage elections is March 15. Countryside Insurance Agent Kayla Pederson says additional coverage is available to protect revenue. “If you are going to take PLC, you should look at taking SCO or Supplemental Coverage Option that insures you from the 75 percent level of coverage all the way up to the 86 percent level of coverage.” One of the biggest changes in crop insurance is the ability to select Enterprise Units by type. “That is now available for dry beans, dry peas, wheat and sunflowers,” said Pederson. “I think the biggest thing it’ll be used for in our area is dry beans by type. You could enterprise your navy beans and put optional units on your pinto beans if that’s the route you’d like to take.”
