BACKGROUND:
The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation Board of Directors approved implementation of the Crop and Livestock Income Protection (CLIP) crop insurance program, under section 508(h) of the Federal Crop Insurance Act, on November 21, 2024.
The CLIP program provides umbrella coverage for commodities insured under two or more Revenue Protection (RP) policies. CLIP can provide coverage at higher levels and may be more affordable than individual policies at that same coverage level. CLIP will be available beginning with the 2026 crop year for spring crops with RP plans of insurance in 13 states.
ACTION:
The following documents will be available by close of business today on the Risk Management Agency website:
- CLIP Policy Provisions (26-CLIP)
- CLIP Insurance Standards Handbook (FCIC-20750U)
Interested producers should contact a crop insurance agent for further information. A list of agents can be found on the Agent Locator.
