Post-Application Coverage Endorsement (PACE)

What is PACE?

The Post-Application Coverage Endorsement (PACE) is a brand new form of supplemental coverage for YP, RP, and RP-HPE policies, which builds on the RMA’s recent efforts to reward conservation and sustainable farming among American producers.

PACE provides payment to policyholders who split-apply nitrogen fertilizer and are unable to carry out adequate nitrogen application during the growing season due to weather and poor field conditions, and who suffer a projected yield loss as a result.

What Does it Mean to "Split-Apply" Nitrogen?

Split-applying nitrogen is a farming practice in which producers spread their fertilizer application across multiple treatments throughout the growing season rather than applying it all at once.

Split-application is believed to be better for the environment due to a reduction in nitrogen leaching, which can be a significant problem for water quality.

The practice is also likely to reduce input costs for those producers who implement it.

Where is PACE Available?

PACE is available for non-irrigated corn in certain counties in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Michigan, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
