The Margin Protection (MP) pilot plan of insurance is a federally reinsured area-based product that provides coverage for protection of the insured’s expected margin — the difference between expected revenue and specific expected costs. MP considers changes in crop prices, county yields and input prices in determining the indemnity. MP is an area-based policy that can be purchased as a stand-alone policy or in conjunction with Yield Protection (YP) or Revenue Protection (RP) policies.
Harvest Price Option (HPO)
The HPO allows a grower to choose to include replacement cost coverage to the MP policy. Similar to many popular revenue-based policies, if the harvest price is greater than the projected price, the expected margin and the trigger margin are recalculated based on the higher harvest price.
