Crop insurance education consisting of sequential webinars, homework assignments, and help sessions, was delivered via a partnership of subject matter experts and extension educators in 10 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.

Producers attended five (2 hours, 10 hours total) webinars approximately two weeks apart. Webinars including formal presentations, discussion, and homework assignments, were recorded for review later and for those unable to attend the live presentation. Producers also attended five (1 hour, 5 hours total) virtual review and help sessions held the week following the corresponding webinar.  These review sessions included chatroom discussions that helped to enhance learning, ensure homework assignments were completed and prevented producers from losing interest.

There were 166 producers who attended one or more sessions where they learned to calculate Cost of Production and APH for their crops.  They also demonstrated an understanding of the features of Whole Farm Revenue Protection and Micro Farm, were able to distinguish differences between Yield Protection and Revenue Protection, developed an understanding of good farming practices required for their crops, were able to identify major causes of insurable losses, and knew their planting dates.  They learned how to find a crop insurance agent, demonstrated an understanding of how the loss process works, and learned the purpose of a Written Agreement and how to apply for one.
