Title: ●Early Harvest Insurance Flexibility for Sugar Beets 
Abstract:

This rule is amending the Common Crop Insurance Regulations; Sugar Beet Crop Insurance Provisions.  This rule would make early harvest adjustment an option for the policy.  Currently, early harvest adjustment is automatically applied. The early harvest adjustment was added to the policy with a 2019 final rule to limit the effects to producers’ Approved Production History (APH) databases from processor requirements to harvest sugar beets before they reach full maturity. Since the 2019 rule, some growers raised concerns that the adjustment could negatively impact a claim, while other growers still prefer the APH protection offered by early harvest adjustment. FCIC has worked closely with grower groups and insurance providers on the changes so that differing preferences can harmoniously be satisfied and producers have flexibility to choose the option to best meet their risk management needs.
