Is Whole Farm Revenue Micro Farm Crop Insurance Right for My Farm?



Micro Farm Program National Fact Sheet | RMA (usda.gov)

Micro Farm is tailored for any farm with up to $350,000 in revenue from agricultural commodities, including farms with specialty or organic commodities (both crops and livestock), or those marketing to local, regional, farm-identity preserved, specialty, or direct markets.

In order to apply for Micro Farm Insurance, you need:

  • At least three years of historic Schedule F farm tax records.
  • If you don't file Schedule F you will need the farm tax forms you file plus supporting information so a Substitute Schedule F form can be completed.
  • Your farm plan for the year to show your commodities and expected revenue you plan to produce. Some of your historic records may be needed to assist with determining your expected value. If you raise organic commodities, you will need your organic certificate by the date the Revised Farm Operation Report is due, unless your farm produces $5,000 or less. A certificate issued from the National Organic Program's Organic Integrity Database (or successor certificate reporting tool) is also acceptable. The AIP may also need to consult your organic system plan.

Join Liz Higgins, Farm Business Management Extension Specialist, for a webinar discussing this coverage and how it compares to NAP and single-crop insurance products.

Announcements

NY Urban Farms Pest Management Fact Sheet Series

Cornell Cooperative Extension has partnered with dozens of urban farms across New York State to demonstrate and evaluate sustainable pest management strategies. Together with farmers, we found success using control methods that prevent or reduce crop losses through exclusion strategies, crop timing, host resistance, the introduction of beneficial organisms, and more. Regardless of management strategy used, common requirements for success include a knowledge of the pest and disease complex, preventative deployment and commitment to the process. The New York Urban Farms Sustainable Pest Management Fact Sheet Series includes case studies highlighting pest management techniques that New York urban farms have found valuable.

NYS Urban Growers Pest Management Needs Assessment

As part of a multi-year project exploring non-spray pest management options that are economically and environmentally sustainable for urban farms, we conducted a needs assessment with urban growers across New York State. The New York State Urban Growers Pest Management Needs Assessment presents findings on current pest management practices, challenges, and topics of future interest.
