Cultivated Clam Producers Need to Make Insurance Decisions Soon
VALDOSTA, Ga., Oct. 29, 2018 - USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA) reminds South Carolina cultivated clam producers that the final date to apply for crop insurance coverage is November 30. Current policyholders who wish to make changes to their existing coverage also have until the November 30 sales closing date to do so.
Federal crop insurance is critical to the farm safety net. It helps producers and owners manage revenue risks and strengthens the rural economy. Coverage is available for cultivated clams in Beaufort and Charleston counties.
Growers are encouraged to visit their crop insurance agent soon to learn specific details for the 2018 crop year. A list of crop insurance agents is available at all USDA Service Centers and online at the RMA Agent Locator. Growers can use the RMA Cost Estimator to get a premium amount estimate of their insurance needs online.
