The USDA is expanding its Nursery Value Select (NVS) crop insurance to all counties in all states. This pilot program aims to enable nursery producers to select the dollar amount of coverage that best fits their risk management needs. NVS intends to provide similar but improved coverage to the longstanding Nursery Field Grown and Container program. NVS also covers field-grown and containerized nursery plants and offers coverage levels between catastrophic and 75%.
