USDA's Risk Management Agency (RMA) reminds farmers of the November 20, 2008 sales closing date for crop insurance. This sales closing date is applicable for the following crops in Georgia: apples, blueberries and peaches. The sales closing date is the last date to purchase a new policy or to change the level of coverage for an existing policy.

Crop insurance is sold and delivered solely through private crop insurance agents. Contact a local Multi- Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) agent to learn additional program details. A list of crop insurance agents is available at all USDA Service Centeres or on the RMA website at www.rma.usda.gov/tools/agents.
