The Illinois Department of Agriculture has announced the return of the “Fall Cover for Spring Savings” program for 2020.
Growers with crop insurance coverage through USDA’s Risk Management Agency are encouraged to plant acres to cover crops in the fall of 2020 followed by an insurable crop in 2021. Eligible applicants then receive a $5 per acre premium discount on verified acres on the following year’s crop insurance invoice.
