    The risk of not being able to apply nitrogen at the right time is one of the challenges farmers face when considering split-applications of nitrogen. IL Corn helped to research, develop, and receive approval for a new crop insurance product. Post Application Coverage Endorsement, PACE, is a private product that can be added on to a farmer’s underlying base crop insurance plan to cover the event of an in-season (V3-V10) nitrogen application. The product was rolled in a limited launch pilot in select counties in 11 states. For more information, see pacecropinsurance.com.
