When is the Sales Closing Date (SCD) deadline for crop insurance?

The Sales Closing Date (SCD) is crucial as it marks the final opportunity for producers to purchase or adjust their crop insurance policies for the upcoming crop year. For most crops in Nebraska, this date is set for March 15. This deadline is important because it allows farmers to make informed decisions about their coverage based on the risks they face for the growing season. Missing this deadline means that producers cannot obtain insurance for that crop year, leaving them exposed to potential losses. Understanding this date is essential for effective risk management in agriculture, ensuring that farmers can protect their investments and plan accordingly as they prepare for planting.
