Blueberries

MGR-17-004

Background 

Severe freeze events in the Southeastern United States on March 15-16, 2017, have resulted in significant and varying crop damage, particularly for blueberry and peach growers in Georgia and South Carolina. Some reports indicate the freeze event may have damaged 80 percent of the blueberry crop in Southern Georgia and 85 to 90 percent of early and midseason peach varieties in both states. Crops that advanced early, due to an unusually warm January and February, were damaged by the March freeze.

The following attachment, 2018 Expansion of Existing Perennial Crops Programs, lists the expansion by crop, state, and county for permanently-established (non-pilot) programs.

Action

Approved Insurance Providers should advise agents and in turn producers of the expanded county crop programs for the 2018 crop year to allow producers the opportunity to purchase crop insurance.
