Abstract

Iowa fruit and vegetables growers need risk management options similar to those available to row crop producers. However, there was no body of data on production costs and sales that would guide the development of such insurance options. This project collected data from Iowa growers that will allow federal and state agencies to create and adapt insurance instruments suitable for fruit and vegetable producers.
