How Does Crop Insurance Work for Farmers? 

Crop insurance is a tool designed to protect farmers from significant losses due to unforeseen events.  

Farmers choose a crop insurance policy based on their specific needs and the type of crops they grow. The policy might be yield-based (covering crop yields less than a specified amount) or revenue-based (covering revenue losses due to price drops or yield losses). 

Farmers pay a premium for their insurance policy. The government may subsidize a portion of these premiums to make crop insurance more affordable. 

The farmer can file a claim if a natural disaster (like a drought or flood) or another unforeseen event (like pest infestations) damages or destroys crops. 

Does Crop Insurance Cover Unharvested Crops? 

Some policies cover unharvested crops. The farmer might still receive compensation if a disaster strikes just before a crop is due to be harvested.

Farming is capital-intensive. Between the costs of equipment, seeds, labor and land maintenance, farmers invest heavily before a crop is harvested and sold. Crop insurance can help ensure that even in the event of a significant loss, farmers can cover their operating expenses and avoid financial ruin.
