Abstract
Iowa farmers face the threat of damage to their crops from drought, hail, flood, insects, and other natural disasters. The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) and private crop insurance venders have developed a set of insurance programs to help control crop production risks at a reasonable cost. Crop insurance coverage is not mandatory, but it does provide a financial safety net in case of severe production losses.
