Sugar Beets

The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation has expanded the number of counties where certain crops are insurable for the 2019 and 2020 crop year. The following attachments, 2019 Expansion of Existing Perennial and Spring Crops Programs and 2020 Expansion of Existing Perennial Crops Programs, lists the expansion by crop, state, and county for permanently-established (non-pilot) programs.

Approved Insurance Providers should advise producers of the expanded county crop programs for the 2019 and 2020 crop year.

Due to excess moisture, delayed harvest situations, and freezing temperatures in parts of Minnesota and North Dakota, processors are rejecting harvest and delivery of remaining unharvested sugar beets for the 2018 Crop Year. As a result, unharvested sugar beets are still frozen in the ground due to an insurable cause of loss that occurred during the insurance period.
