What happens if a commodity/cash crop or cover crop fails?

Question:

What happens if a commodity/cash crop or cover crop fails?

Answer:

ESMC understands there are many reasons a crop can fail and therefore not be harvested. In this event there is no penalty to the producer and the producer is still active in the program. However, the failure of the commodity/cash or cover crop may impact the number of credits generated and therefore impact the producer’s payment.
