The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship has extended the deadline for farmers who planted fall cover crops to sign up for a $5 per acre reduction on their 2020 crop insurance premiums to Jan. 31. Farmers and landowners can signup online at apply.cleanwateriowa.org.

The insurance premium reductions will be available for fall-planted cover crops with a spring-planted cash crop. 

Participants must follow all existing farming practices required by their policy and work with their insurance agents to maintain eligibility.
