RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, NC, AND ANOKA, MN, December 19, 2011 – Corn growers in Kentucky and Michigan are now among those who may qualify, along with growers in eight other states, to reduce their crop insurance premiums when they use Headline® fungicide or Headline AMP™ fungicide through Insurance Advantage by BASF.
Rural Community Insurance Services (RCIS®) customers in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio and Wisconsin who protect their corn acres with a Crop Hail Policy1 and Green Snap Lodging2 wind protection may qualify for free Extra Harvest Expense coverage by using Headline or Headline AMP.
"RCIS, the nation's largest crop insurance company based on premium, is pleased to partner with BASF,“ said Mike Eade, RCIS Director of Marketing and Strategic Alliances. "The Insurance Advantage offers another potential way for producers in approved states to manage risk and protect yields."
“Headline and Headline AMP continue to lead in performance, providing superior disease control and Plant Health benefits. On-farm research shows that Headline AMP delivers more bushels of corn per acre than any other fungicide on the market,” said Daryl Theis, Product Manager, BASF. “Headline and Headline AMP help corn growers manage risk and get the most out of every acre. The extension of our agreement with RCIS is a testament to our shared commitment to help growers minimize risk.”
