About Jeff Calvert Crop Insurance Services
I am an independent insurance agent with over 20 years of experience writing only crop insurance. Products include the USDA's full line of multi-peril crop insurance, private products that enhance the USDA's offerings, and crop hail and wind insurance.
I pride myself in assessing exactly the right coverage for each individual. I can incorporate actual yield histories, expected costs, budgets, and marketing plans to reduce net farm income risk over a wide range of price/yield possibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please contact me if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Yes! The USDA is once again deferring late fees for 60 days, meaning that premiums can be paid up to December 1 without incurring a late fee.
As of the end of February, the December 2026 corn contract is averaging $4.62 and the November 2026 soybean contract is averaging $11.09.
Corn's is April 10 and soybeans is April 15. If you plant before these dates, you are still eligible for a harvest loss, but you are not eligible for a replant loss. Your policy would allow for a replant payment of up to $37.60/acre for corn and $31.62/acre for soybeans.
ARC-county is a free farm program that you can sign up for at your local FSA office. You sign up by farm number and crop. Your choices are ARC-county, ARC-individual, and PLC. SCO is a supplemental coverage offered by your multi-peril crop insurance agent and is therefore signed up by crop in an entire county. Both ARC-county and SCO are based on county yields, but the price used to calculate the guaranteed revenue for the two products are calculated differently.
Yes. For the best results, you should not forward contract more bushels than your RP policy guarantees and you should manage your deliveries to as close to the month of October as you can. For more information, download the file entitled "RP and Forward Contracts" below.
