Subject:

Canola and Rapeseed Crop Provisions Effective for the 2021 and Succeeding Crop Years
Background
The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) revised the Canola and Rapeseed Crop Provisions for the 2021 and succeeding crop years. These provisions were revised to clarify policy provisions and for consistency with other crop provisions that offer coverage on both fall and spring-planted acreage of the crop in the same county.
Action

The following document will be available by close of business today on the RMA website at www.rma.usda.gov:

  • Canola and Rapeseed Crop Provisions (21-0015) 

Approved insurance providers must notify policyholders of these changes at least 30 days prior to the cancellation date, as required by the policy.

The first sales closing date for the 2021 crop year sales for the Canola and Rapeseed Insurance Program is August 31, 2020 in select states and counties. Interested producers should contact a crop insurance agent for further information. A list of agents can be found on the RMA website at www.rma.usda.gov/Information-Tools/Agent-Locator-Page.
