Nursery

Nursery crop insurance is available in all counties in all states provided certain criteria are met. Insurance coverage will apply by practice (field-grown and/or container) to all your nursery plants in the county that are:

·         Shown on the Eligible Plant List

·         Meet all the requirements for insurability; and

·         Are grown in an appropriate medium using acceptable production practices.

Nursery containers that contain two or more different genera, species, subspecies, varieties, or cultivars are not insurable. Plants (trees) grown for sale as Christmas trees are not insurable. Plants that produce edible fruits and nuts are insurable, if the plants are available for sale (harvest of the edible fruit or nuts does not affect insurability). An inspection of your nursery will be performed before insurance coverage begins.
