Delaware farmers are running out of time to secure crop insurance protection for the 2026 growing season, with the sales deadline fast approaching on March 15th.
According to Shelby Twenter, who serves as Vice President of Crop and Livestock Insurance at FCS Financial, agricultural producers need to take immediate action to ensure they have adequate coverage in place. Twenter recently outlined several critical updates that farmers should be aware of for the upcoming policy year.
Key steps that Delaware growers must complete before the deadline include refreshing their business entity details with insurance providers and providing their 2025 harvest yields to ensure premium calculations reflect accurate production history. This yield information is essential for obtaining precise coverage quotes and determining appropriate protection levels.
Farmers are also encouraged to carefully evaluate their coverage alternatives to select policies that best match their operation’s specific needs and risk tolerance. Insurance experts recommend consulting with local agricultural insurance representatives to navigate the various options available and ensure compliance with all requirements before the March 15th cutoff date.
