The webinar will highlight the Pandemic Cover
Crop Program (PCCP), offered by USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA),
and how it will help farmers maintain their cover crop systems,
despite the financial challenges posed by the pandemic.
The premium support of $5 per acre will be deducted from the
crop insurance premium owed by the producer just like the state
program. The premium reduction cannot exceed more than the full
premium owed. The program covers insured acres planted to a
qualifying cover crop during the 2021 crop year.
To receive the benefit for this program, producers must file a
Report of Acreage form (FSA-578) with their cover crops
identified with FSA by June 15, 2021, which is distinct from the
normal acreage reporting date. Producers who already received a
premium discount through the Illinois Fall Covers for Spring
Savings Program may also receive a benefit through PCCP.
