VALDOSTA, Ga., Jan. 17, 2025 — The USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA) reminds Alabama fresh market sweet corn growers that the final date to apply for crop insurance coverage for the 2025 crop year is February 15. Current policyholders who wish to make changes to their existing coverage also have until the February 15 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 fresh market sweet corn in Baldwin County.
Growers are encouraged to visit their crop insurance agent soon to learn specific details for the 2025 crop year.
Crop insurance is sold and delivered solely through private crop insurance agents. A list of crop insurance agents is available at all USDA Service Centers and online at the RMA Agent Locator. Learn more about crop insurance and the modern farm safety net at rma.usda.gov or by contacting your RMA Regional Office.
RMA secures the future of agriculture by providing world class risk management tools to rural America through Federal crop insurance and risk management education programs. RMA provides policies for more than 130 crops and is constantly working to adjust and create new policies based on producer needs and feedback.
