📣 Delmarva soybean producers — this is one to pay attention to.
There have been ongoing discussions about potentially bringing NFAC/FAC soybean insurance to the Delmarva region. This would allow producers to insure full-season and double-crop soybeans separately—something that isn’t currently available under MPCI policies like Revenue Protection and Yield Protection in our area.
Why does it matter? Double-crop soybeans typically yield differently than full-season beans, and combining that production can impact your APH and, ultimately, your insurance guarantee.
Nate Bruce, Farm Business Management Specialist with the University of Delaware, breaks down what NFAC/FAC could mean for Delmarva producers, including potential impacts to APHs, guarantees, premiums and recordkeeping.
Producers are also being asked to provide feedback on whether they would like to see NFAC/FAC offered in our region.

As always, we encourage you to talk with your crop insurance agent about how a change like this could impact your individual operation before making a decision.
