1/ Honey #bees play a crucial role in the production of many fruit, tree nut and vegetable crops, yet their natural habitats often do not coincide with the locations of #agricultural #crops that require #pollination services.

1/ The #Pasture, #Rangeland and Forage Rainfall Index is a #crop #insurance product underutilized by Illinois livestock and forage producers. Only 6% of the eligible acres in Illinois were insured in 2024, much lower than use west of the Mississippi.

If an established crop policy is not available in a particular state or county, producers may request that their RMA Regional Office expand the program to their county the next crop year. Details: bit.ly/2XocTvv

Some specialty crop growers in CA (and elsewhere) may be interested in this. New insurance programs coming for:
•Alfalfa seed
•Cultivated wild rice
•Forage production
•Mint*
•Onions*
•Potatoes*
.@USDA is expanding insurance coverage options for specialty crops and other actual production history crop programs with greater enterprise unit possibilities. This gives producers more options for managing risk. bit.ly/44bDngR
