With the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation Board’s approved conversion of the pilot to a permanent regulatory program, extended coverage was made available through the written agreement process. 

For the 2013 crop year, producers outside the county pilot area (previously listed) may request MPCI protection for their alfalfa seed crop.

Producers are encouraged to visit with their crop insurance agent by the Oct. 1 (Sept. 30 falls on a Sunday) sales closing date to review and sign up if coverage is available in their county or learn if they would be eligible for coverage under a written agreement if coverage is not generally available in their county.
