What percentage of the insured planted acreage must be replanted to be eligible for replanting payments?

To qualify for replanting payments under crop insurance, a specific percentage of the planted acreage must be replanted due to inadequate stand or damage. The correct percentage for eligibility is 20 percent of the insured planted acreage. This criterion is set to ensure that the replanting assistance is only provided when a significant portion of the crop has failed, making it necessary to replant in order to achieve a viable harvest.

If only a minimal percentage of the crop is damaged, the risk may be manageable without replanting, which is why a higher threshold is established. The determination of this percentage helps maintain the integrity of the insurance program and ensures that funds are allocated appropriately for genuine cases of crop loss.
