Standing Strong with America’s Farmers
Advantage Crop Insurance Agency is prepared to protect and serve our policyholders and agents during the government shutdown that has started today, October 1, 2025. The USDA Risk Management Agency (RMA) has communicated some guidance on procedures that will
be in place to facilitate many of the functions required to sell and service federally reinsured policies.
Enhanced Coverage Option (ECO)
The Enhanced Coverage Option (ECO) allows farmers to strengthen their protection by adding coverage for county-level losses that may impact their operation. ECO helps reduce the financial impact of broad-area yield or revenue declines before a producer’s individual policy begins paying, giving growers more confidence against unpredictable regional conditions.
