What does Crop Insurance consider “acceptable farm management” practices?
Crop Insurance does not advise producers on what are acceptable farm management practices. Producers are expected to be educated about their business through available sources of information or industry experts and implement those measures when it is economically and agronomically feasible to do so. Good farm managers decrease their risk through a combination of cropping choices and rotations, knowledge of seeding dates, stubble and fertility management, field scouting and monitoring and timely use of crop protection products.
