If any replanting needs to happen, Countryside Insurance Agency owner Jennifer Otteson reminds farmers to contact their crop insurance agent as quickly as possible. “An adjuster has to release those acres before a replant. If it is fewer than 20 acres, it is possible farmers can do a self-certification replant, but that notice of loss still needs to be submitted to the insurance company.” Farmers are encouraged to contact their agent even is they are not sure if they have a qualifying loss. “Another thing to remember is in order to qualify for a replant, the 20-20 rule applies. The acres you’re replanting needs to be 20 acres or 20 percent of the unit.” The same would apply following a hail storm.
