Insurable Acreage Clause Samples
The "Insurable Acreage" clause defines which portions of land are eligible for insurance coverage under an agricultural or crop insurance policy. It typically outlines criteria such as land use, compliance with program requirements, and physical characteristics that must be met for acreage to qualify. For example, only land that is properly planted and maintained, and not used for prohibited purposes, may be considered insurable. This clause ensures that both the insurer and the insured have a clear understanding of what land is covered, thereby preventing disputes and clarifying the scope of protection provided by the policy.
Insurable Acreage. In addition to the provisions of section 9 of the Basic Provisions:
(a) Any acreage of the insured crop that is damaged before the final planting date, to the extent that a majority of producers in the area would not normally further care for the crop, must be replanted unless we agree that it is not practical to replant.
(b) We will not insure any acreage that does not meet the rotation requirements, if applicable, contained in the Special Provi- sions.
(c) Insurable acreage will be:
(1) For acreage only based processor con- tracts and acreage and production based processor contracts which specify a max- imum number of acres, the lesser of:
(i) The planted acres; or
(ii) The maximum number of acres speci- fied in the contract;
(2) For production only based processor contracts, the lesser of:
(i) The number of acres determined by di- viding the production stated in the processor contract by the approved yield; or
(ii) The planted acres.
Insurable Acreage. (a) In addition to the provisions of section 9 (Insurable Acreage) of the Basic Provisions (§ 457.8):
(1) Any acreage of the insured crop dam- aged before the final planting date, to the ex- tent that the majority of growers in the area would normally not further care for the crop, must be replanted unless we agree that it is not practical to replant. Unavailability of plants will not be considered a valid reason for failure to replant.
(2) We do not insure any acreage of toma- toes:
(i) Grown by any person if the person had not previously:
(A) Grown fresh market tomatoes for com- mercial sales; or
(B) Participated in the management of a fresh market tomato farming operation, in at least one of the three previous years.
(ii) That does not meet the rotation re- quirements contained in the Special Provi- sions;
(iii) On which tomatoes, peppers, egg- plants, or tobacco have been grown within the previous two years unless the soil was fu- migated or nematicide was applied before planting the tomatoes, except that this limi- tation does not apply to a first planting in Pennsylvania or if otherwise specified in the Special Provisions; or
(b) In lieu of the provisions of section 9 (In- surable Acreage) of the Basic Provisions (§ 457.8), that prohibit insurance from attach- ing if a crop has not been planted and har- vested in at least one of the three previous calendar years, we will insure newly cleared land or former pasture land planted to fresh market tomatoes.
Insurable Acreage. In addition to the provisions of section 9 of the Basic Provisions:
(a) We will not insure any acreage that does not meet the rotation requirements, if applicable, contained in the Special Provi- sions; or
(b) Any acreage of the insured crop dam- aged before the final planting date, to the ex- tent that producers in the surrounding area would normally not further care for the crop, must be replanted unless we agree that it is not practical to replant.
(c) Whenever the Special Provisions des- ignate both fall and spring final planting dates:
(1) Any fall-planted dry peas that is dam- aged before the spring final planting date, to the extent that growers in the area would normally not further care for the crop, must be replanted to a fall-planted type of dry peas to maintain insurance based on the fall- planted type unless we agree that replanting is not practical. If it is not practical to re- plant to a fall-planted type of dry peas but it is practical to replant to a spring-planted type, you must replant to a spring-planted type to keep your insurance coverage based on the fall-planted type in force.
(2) Any fall-planted dry pea acreage that is replanted to a spring-planted type when it was practical to replant the fall-planted type will be insured as the spring-planted type and the production guarantee, premium and price election applicable to the spring-plant- ed type will be used. In this case, the acreage will be considered to be initially planted to the spring-planted type.
(3) Notwithstanding section 8(d)(1) and (2), if you have elected coverage under the Win- ter Coverage Option (if available in the coun- ty), insurance will be in accordance with the option.
(d) Whenever the Special Provisions des- ignate only a spring final planting date, any acreage of a fall-planted dry pea crop is not insured unless you request such coverage on or before the spring sales closing date, and we agree in writing that the acreage has an adequate stand in the spring to produce the yield used to determine your production guarantee.
(1) The fall-planted dry pea crop will be in- sured as a spring-planted type for the pur- pose of the production guarantee, premium and price election.
(2) Insurance will attach to such acreage on the date we determine an adequate stand exists or on the spring final planting date if we do not determine adequacy of the stand prior to the spring final planting date.
(3) Any acreage of such fall-planted dry peas that is damaged after it is acc...

In lieu of the provisions in section 9 (Insur- able Acreage) of the Basic Provisions (§ 457.8), that prohibit insurance attaching to a crop planted with another crop, peaches interplanted with another perennial crop are insurable unless we inspect the acreage and determine that it does not meet the require- ments contained in your policy.
Insurable Acreage. In addition to the provisions of section 9 of the Basic Provisions, any acreage of the in- sured crop damaged before the final planting date, to the extent that a majority of pro- ducers in the area would not normally fur- ther care for the crop, must be replanted un- less we agreee that it is not practical to re- plant.

Insurable Acreage. (a) Acreage planted to the insured crop in which you have a share is insurable except acreage:
(1) That has not been planted and har- vested within one of the 3 previous crop years, unless:
(i) Such acreage was not planted:
(A) To comply with any other USDA pro- gram;
(B) Because of crop rotation, (e.g., corn, soybean, alfalfa; and the alfalfa remained for 4 years before the acreage was planted to corn again);
(C) Due to an insurable cause of loss that prevented planting; or
(D) Because a perennial tree, vine, or ▇▇▇▇ crop was grown on the acreage;
(ii) Such acreage was planted but was not harvested due to an insurable cause of loss; or
(iii) The Crop Provisions or a written agreement specifically allow insurance for such acreage;
(2) That has been strip-mined, unless oth- erwise approved by written agreement, or unless an agricultural commodity other than a cover, hay, or forage crop (except corn si- lage), has been harvested from the acreage for at least five crop years after the strip- mined land was reclaimed;

(6) That is planted in any manner other than as specified in the policy provisions for the crop unless a written agreement to such planting exists.
(b) If insurance is provided for an irrigated practice, you must report as irrigated only that acreage for which you have adequate fa- cilities and adequate water, or the reason- able expectation of receiving adequate water at the time coverage begins, to carry out a good irrigation practice. If you knew or had reason to know that your water may be re-
