MPCI coverage is available between what percentages of the APH for the farm?

40% and 75%
50% and 85%
60% and 90%
70% and 95%

The correct answer is: 50% and 85%

MPCI, or Multi-Peril Crop Insurance, is designed to protect farmers against various risks that may affect their crop yields. The coverage levels for MPCI typically range from a certain minimum to a maximum percentage of the Actual Production History (APH). The correct range of coverage percentages is between 50% and 85% of the APH. This means that farmers can insure their crops for at least 50% of their historical yield up to a maximum of 85%. This structure allows for flexibility in choosing how much risk the farmer wants to retain versus how much they wish to transfer to the insurance policy. By offering coverage within this range, farmers can tailor their insurance to match their specific risk tolerance, financial needs, and production history. Options that suggest different ranges either fall outside the parameters set by the MPCI program or do not represent the current structure intended to help farmers manage potential yield losses effectively. Each of these alternative percentages either does not align with the available MPCI coverage or would create gaps in insurance provisions which may not meet the varied needs of all producers in the field.
