Producers are reminded that the deadline to sign up for Moisture Deficiency Insurance (MDI) is February 28.
Moisture Deficiency Insurance is designed to provide coverage when precipitation levels fall below historical averages during the growing season. The program can help offset feed costs and reduce financial risk in dry conditions.
Producers who wish to participate in the 2026 MDI program must enroll or make changes to their coverage by the end-of-February deadline.
For more information on eligibility, coverage options, or to sign up, contact your local AFSC office or visit the AFSC website.
