Crop insurance reseeding claim allowed where early planting of soybeans constituted good farm management practice.
The appellants appealed Agricorp's decision denying a reseeding claim for 700 acres of soybeans planted in April 2005.
Agricorp argued the early planting did not constitute Good Farm Management Practice.
The Tribunal found that the appellants had extensive farming experience, planted during favourable soil conditions, and that Agricorp had unilaterally decided not to cover early-planted soybeans without notifying the insured.
The Tribunal concluded the appellants engaged in Good Farm Management Practice and ordered Agricorp to pay the $42,000 reseeding claim.
