The Agriculture Department put on the Internet a “tool” to help growers assess how the Supplemental Coverage Option would apply to their crops and the approximate cost of the coverage. Created by the 2014 farm law, SCO allows crop insurance coverage up to 86 percent of the normal revenue or yield for a crop. The option is available for corn, cotton, grain sorghum, rice, soybeans, spring barley, spring wheat, and winter wheat in most counties for the 2015 crop year, says USDA. The Risk Management Agency said it planned to expand SCO to additional crops and counties in 2016.
The tool is available here. Maps of SCO coverage for 2015 crops are available here.
