When does coverage under MPCI begin?

At harvest time
At planting or seeding of the crop
After application approval
At enrollment date

The correct answer is: At planting or seeding of the crop

Coverage under Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) begins at the planting or seeding of the crop. This timing is fundamental to MPCI because the insurance is designed to protect against various risks that can affect the crop, such as adverse weather conditions or pest infestations, from the moment the crop is planted. Initiating coverage at planting ensures that farmers have financial protection during the critical early stages of crop development, which are essential for the establishment and recovery of the plant. This aligns with the purpose of crop insurance, which is to mitigate losses that could occur at any point during the growing season. In contrast, other options like harvest time, after application approval, or at enrollment date do not provide immediate coverage for risks that may occur soon after planting. Therefore, it is crucial for a farmer to have insurance coverage commence as soon as the seeding takes place to safeguard their investment throughout the growing season.
