Grain Sorghum

Background

The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) revised the Coarse Grains Crop Provisions to allow separate enterprise or optional units by following another crop (FAC) and not following another crop (NFAC) cropping practices for grain sorghum and soybeans when allowed by the actuarial documents, and to make other technical edits. FCIC also revised the High-Risk Alternate Coverage Endorsement (HR-ACE) Standards Handbook to incorporate the changes made in the Coarse Grains Crop Provisions. The changes will be effective for the 2020 and succeeding crop years.
