BILLINGS, Mont. (NMB) – USDA’s Risk Management Agency said producers with the Federal crop insurance that are experiencing a delay in harvesting their crop and potentially have a loss should contact their Approved Insurance Provider to file a Notice of Loss and request more time to harvest. The late maturing crop coupled with extremely wet and wintry conditions this fall have extended harvest for producers in Montana and other states.
Producers must file the notice and request more time to harvest before the end of the insurance period, so that Federal crop insurance claims are settled based on the amount of harvested production. In Montana, the end of that period for corn and soybeans is December 10th.
More information on requesting assistance due to delayed harvest is available on the Risk Management Agency’s website.
