Iowa Cover Crop Insurance Discount Program Application Window Closes Soon

Iowa farmers have just over a week left to file for the 2023 Crop Insurance Discount Program for cover crops through the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship. Earlier this month, the agency extended the deadline to Friday, Jan. 27 for application submission. In order to qualify, eligible cover crop acres cannot be enrolled in other state or federal cost-share programs, and participants must follow all existing farming practices required by their respective policies. The program is now entering its sixth year and has expanded cover crop use across the state to improve soil structure, permeability, and nutrient retention. Approved applicants will receive a $5 per acre discount on their 2023 crop insurance premiums. Learn more about the program using the link included below.
