As a vineyard owner, safeguarding your crops against unforeseen events is crucial. The Federal Crop Insurance deadline is fast approaching on January 31, with coverage commencing on February 1. This insurance is essential for protecting your vineyard from potential losses due to natural disasters, pests, or diseases.

What’s new in Crop Insurance for 2025:

• Enhanced Coverage Option (ECO): County-based coverage option allowing you to insure up to 95% of your crop value using county-based losses.
• Fire Insurance Protection – Smoke Index (FIP-SI) – County-based smoke exposure coverage option allowing you to add additional smoke coverage to your underlying policy using county-based NOAA air quality data to determine a loss.
