Talk with an Experienced Insurance Brokerage
Hemp growers across the country are rejoicing as Congress passed a disaster bill amendment that makes insurance coverage available to certain industrial hemp growers in 2020. Until this moment, many growers endured nerve-wracking frustration as weather threatened their crops year after year. This change essentially legitimizes hemp as a row crop and may open other avenues for further protection at the state and local levels.

Legitimacy Opens Up the Industry to Continued Growth
For farmers who have been putting their livelihood at risk, the USDA relieved some of their stress by making hemp crop insurance coverage available at the federal level. The industry is touting these efforts by the government to help Americans in the agricultural sector. For example, hemp growers told Hemp Industry Daily that this announcement “legitimizes hemp as a row crop, like other agricultural commodities” means there are additional protections available.
As with any new legislation, there are a couple of eligibility requirements and restrictions, such as:
- You must be compliant with your state’s plans.
- You must have a contract for the purchase of your industrial crop.
- Your hemp crop cannot test over 0.3% THC limit.
- Hemp does not qualify for replant payments currently.
