MPCI and Crop-Hail Insurance-do not sacrifice one for the other.
Use your money on a risk management product that provides the best economic return without allowing any coverage breach. Consider the following:
- At 75% MPCI Coverage, a 25% reduction of the APH is needed before a payable loss can be declared
- MPCI Coverage will pay loss based on the APH at the target price
Consider this scenario:
A policyholder with 100 acres of wheat with a $5.00/$100 basic rate:
- Basic Coverage: $500.00
- DDA: $380.00
- DXS10: $370.00
- DDB: $280.00
- B or C 2: $710.00
- Comp 2: $680.00
Sentinel Plan
Sentinel Plan
- This companion crop-hail insurance plan will cover the portion of your crop not insured under your Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) policy, on an MPCI policy unit basis. That portion of your crop is defined as the difference between the approved Actual Production History (APH) average yield and the selected MPCI levels of coverage yield guarantee. Since coverage is specifically targeted for your coverage not included under your MPCI policy—the rates are considerably less than a basic hail policy.
The Sentinel Plan is available for:
- Corn for grain
- Soybeans
- Small Grains
Perils covered by the Sentinel policy:
- Hail
- Transit
- Vandalism
- Malicious Mischief
- Fire/lighting
- (There is a minimum deductible of 5% for all perils other than hail)
How Sentinel works:
- A Nodak Mutual MPCI policy is required at the coverage level of your choice
- Sentinel provides an extra modification factor of your APH
- Liability is based on an MPCI unit basis, rather than a per acre basis
- Adjusted loss settlement is paid at the end of harvest or end of insurance period
Flexible payment options:
- Annual
- Semi-annual
- Quarterly
- EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer)
- Credit Card
