Almonds can be insured for the<br />
sixth leaf season. However, if you had<br />
a crop at fourth leaf you can request<br />
fifth leaf coverage. Pistachios can be<br />
HAV Self Propelled Sprayers<br />
insured if trees have reached their tenth<br />
leaf. Walnuts can be insured once 90<br />
percent of the orchard is at least seventh<br />
leaf. Every grower and scenario is<br />
unique, and you may have options to<br />
revise, exclude, or request to increase<br />
the average yield to ensure they have<br />
the best coverage based in their historical<br />
data. It is best to discuss with a<br />
crop insurance agent to discover your<br />
options.<br />
Information Needed<br />
for Crop Insurance<br />
To be covered you will need to<br />
provide key information to the crop<br />
insurance agent. An applicant will need<br />
their entity type; S Corp, LLC, Sole<br />
Proprietor, or different business structure<br />
as well as the appropriate EIN or<br />
social security number. An applicant<br />
needs to be able to provide production<br />
history from their processor, or they<br />
can ask RMA for increased yields of<br />
similar county average yield information.<br />
If this history is not available you<br />
will be forced to use county historical<br />
data which may not be the best representative<br />
for your production history. A<br />
map of your acreage as recorded needs<br />
to be provided. A grower can use their<br />
Farm Service Agency map or even your<br />
spray permit map you may have for the<br />
county agriculture commissioner. You<br />
will also need to be able to provide the<br />
year the orchard was planted, spacing<br />
information, variety and rootstock<br />
information.<br />
Your crop insurance agent will be able<br />
to walk you through the list of necessities.<br />

insurance and are interested to learn<br />
