Revenue Protection (RP)

Provides the most comprehensive protection, covering losses from low prices, low yields, or both—giving you the flexibility to market your crops with confidence.

Covers production losses due to natural causes like drought or flooding, but does not protect against price changes.

Enhanced Coverage Option (ECO)

Extends your policy’s coverage up to 90% or 95%, with county-level protection that complements your existing RP or YP plan.

Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO)

Offers added protection by covering the gap between your base policy and 86% of expected revenue—but not available if you’ve enrolled in ARC.

Checkmark

Margin Coverage Option (MCO)

Area based coverage up to 95% that protects against a decrease in a farm’s operating margin.

Pasture Rangeland Forage (PRF)

Area based plan to protect your pasture and forage acres from lack of rainfall.
