The Risk Management Agency revised the Silage Sorghum Pilot Endorsement for the 2021 and succeeding crop years. Changes include:

• Updated references to the Coarse Grains Crop Provisions;
• Replaced outdated terms with those consistent with the actuarial documents;
• Revised the deadline for providing a contract to the acreage reporting date instead of the final planting date to be consistent with other crops for which the contract price may be used as the price election;
• Clarified that all acreage in the county in which the insured has a share must be covered under the silage sorghum purchase contract in order to use the contract price as the price election; and
• Updated loss examples with current prices and simplified the computations.

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

• Silage Sorghum Pilot Endorsement (21-0059)
• Silage Sorghum Pilot Loss Adjustment Standards Handbook (25840-1H)

The Silage Sorghum Pilot Underwriting Guide (24150) will be available at a later date.

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

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.
