INSURANCE PRICE CALCULATION
Eligible plant insurance prices are based on:
Crop Type
Practice (container/field grown)
Measurement Method
The two growing practices involve three different plant size measurement methods:
Container Field Grown
Volume (gal.) Caliper (in.)
High/Wide (in. or ft.)
Included in this section are the Base Price Tables showing a base price for each eligible
size, practice (container and field), and for each of the thirteen crop types.
The main body of this document, titled “Eligible Plant List and Plant Price Schedule”
(EPLPPS), shows a factor for each eligible plant name and valid measurement method.
The insurance price for each plant size is the grower’s lowest wholesale catalog price
(from catalogs or price lists submitted in accordance with the Special Provisions) not to
exceed the maximum price calculated by multiplying the plant factor on the EPLPPS for
the plant by the base price on the Base Price Table for that crop type and measurement
method. Insurable plants damaged prior to the attachment of insurance coverage will
be insured at a reduced value until such plants have fully recovered from damage.
