Course Overview
The course titled Commodity/Crop Insurance is designed for those agents who sell insurance
to individuals involved in the agricultural industry. A very brief history of
crop insurance introduces the course. It covers the agriculture industry as
it exists today, with types of coverage, areas causing issues, organic
farming, nurseries and how these are affected by climate change and the
changing needs of the farming and ranching industry. Crop insurance producer
responsibilities are discussed since that is so important to issuing crop
insurance policies. Crop yield insurance is covered in detail as well as
yield-based policies. This course also covers revenue insurance plans. The Federal crop insurance corporation is discussed so agents understand how this organization promotes economic stability of the agriculture industry through a system of crop insurance. Anything that promotes research and development of the agricultural industry, as the FCIC does, benefits the crop insurance industry. We also look at the mandates for growing crops and how these mandates have not addressed climate change and the need to update growing procedures. |
