What are insurable crop types?
Missouri has two insurable forage types: grazingland and hayland. The policy language is clear that the forage must be perennial but ambiguous about the type so here is a composite definition with emphasis added. • Grazingland – “…land suitable and intended for grazing by livestock…” • Hayland – “…land suitable and intended for harvest by mechanical equipment…” NOTE: Please contact Rain Insure for assistance in determining grazing and hay acreage.
