The USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA) reminds Delaware small grains producers that the final date to apply for crop insurance coverage for the 2018 crop year is September 30. Current policyholders who wish to make changes to their existing policies also have until September 30 to do so. Prices for small grains for the 2018 crop year are explained in the Commodity Exchange Price Provisions. Projected prices are searchable on the RMA Price Discovery site at:

Producers are encouraged to visit their crop insurance agent soon to learn specific details for the 2018 crop year. Crop insurance coverage decisions must be made on or before the sales closing date.
