When does Late Planting coverage begin?

Late Planting coverage begins the day after the final planting date. This policy provision is designed to provide insurance protection when farmers are unable to plant their crops by the insurance policy's final planting date due to adverse weather conditions or other qualifying circumstances.

After this final planting date, farmers typically have a limited window—often 25 days—during which they can still plant their crops and receive coverage, albeit with some adjustments to the guarantee, reflecting the potential decrease in yield due to later planting. This policy mechanism helps to mitigate the financial risk incurred by farmers who face challenging planting conditions while ensuring that they are aware of the importance of adhering to the specified timelines.

The other options reflect misunderstandings of the timeline involved in Late Planting coverage, where the start of coverage is specifically designated to begin after the final planting date has passed.
