Planting a Second Crop on Prevented Planting (PP) Ground

Insureds may plant a second crop for harvesting, haying or grazing on the PP ground.

1. The second crop must be planted after the later of the final planting date or the end of the late planting period (for the initial planted crop).
2. The insured will receive 35% of the PP guarantee and pay 35% of the original premium on the prevented crop, unless DC requirements are met. The insured will be limited to 35% unless no second crop is subsequently planted or the insured does qualify for double cropping. Payment on first crop prevented planted is not restored if a second crop is planted but does not sustain a loss.
3. PP acreage where cover crops are hayed or grazed prior to the end of the final planting date or the late planting period, if available, will not be eligible for a PP payment.
4. Second crops, planted on PP ground, must be insured if the crop meets insurability requirements and is insured on the policy. Cover Crop means a crop generally recognized by agricultural experts as agronomically sound for the area for erosion control or other purposes related to conservation or soil improvement.
