Forage Restoration
No fixed amount
Insurance
Description:
Forage Restoration, part of the Forage Insurance and Forage Seed Insurance programs, compensates producers who lose their established hay or forage seed crops due to excessive moisture before October 1. You do not pay a separate premium for Forage Restoration, but you must have Forage Insurance (Basic Hay Insurance or Select Hay Insurance) and/or Forage Seed Insurance. A Forage Insurance acreage that qualifies for a forage restoration payment is also eligible for Forage Insurance coverage for that crop year (if the total forage yield falls below coverage).
Comments on Funding:
Forage Restoration is a benefit that is included in the premium cost of Forage Insurance, alfalfa seed, tall fescue seed, and pedigreed timothy seed insurance.
