Policyholder DutiesThe policyholder must file a report of hemp acreage with their crop insurance agent by the Acreage Reporting Date. More information and specific reporting requirements will be provided by the agent.

In the event of damage or loss, the policyholder must take the following actions:

• Provide to an ARMtech loss adjuster a copy of the certification form or official license for the current crop year for the applicable insured county prior to completion of any claim.

• Protect the crop from further damage by providing sufficient care.

• Notify their crop insurance agent within 72 hours of the initial discovery of damage, but not later than 15 days after the end of the insurance period.

• Leave representative samples for each field of the damaged unit.

• If insured acreage of the insured type is damaged during the insurance period by an insured cause of loss, and the policyholder intends to harvest the acreage before the final THC level is determined by the applicable governing authority, they must provide ARMtech notice so we may inspect the damaged acreage to determine appraised production to count.

Coverage DetailsRefer to the table at right for the premium subsidy percentages and coverage levels available with an election of Basic Units. The policyholder's share of the premium will be 100%, minus the subsidy amount.

Insurance UnitsBasic, Optional, and Enterprise Units are available in select hemp counties. Premium discounts apply for Basic and Enterprise Units. Additional subsidy is available for Enterprise Units.

The policyholder may only select one coverage level for each insured type in the county insured under this policy. The coverage level, by type, must be selected on the application by the Sales Closing Date.

If the policyholder does not select a coverage level for all insurable types specified in the actuarial documents, and they plant one or more additional insurable types, the lowest coverage level selected on the application for any insurable type will apply to each additional insurable type planted.

The Catastrophic Risk Protection Endorsement (CAT) limits coverage to 50% of the average yield and 55% of the price election. The cost for CAT coverage is an administrative fee of $655, per crop, per county.
