The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) is reminding producers to apply for crop insurance premium rebates through the end of January.
There is $800,000, or 160,000 acres of coverage available to be given out on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Those eligible will obtain a $5 per acre rebate on the summer 2024 crop insurance premium for acres planted with cover crops in 2023 and then planted with an insurable crop in 2024.
There is no limit on acres an applicant can apply for, though producers who received state or federal cost-sharing to plant cover crops in 2023 are not eligible this year.
