§ 400.658 - Coverage for acreage that is prevented from being planted.

For the 1995 and succeeding crop years, the insurance period for prevented planting for those crop insurance policies containing prevented planting coverage shall be extended so that prevented planting coverage begins:

(a) On the sales closing date for the insured crop in the county for the crop year the application for insurance is accepted; or

(b) For any crop year following the crop year the application for insurance is accepted, or for any crop year the insurance policy is transferred to a different insurance provider, on the sales closing date for the insured crop in the county for the previous crop year, provided continuous coverage has been in effect since that date. For example: If the producer makes application and purchases a corn crop insurance policy for the 1995 crop year (which is not terminated or canceled during or after the 1995 crop year), prevented planting coverage for the 1996 crop year began on the 1995 sales closing date. Cancellation for the purpose of transferring the policy to a different insurance provider when there is no lapse in coverage will not be considered terminated or canceled coverage for the purpose of the preceding sentence.
