What Replant Option Is
The Replant Option provides extra coverage to cover expenses when a covered peril causes a grower to replant all or a portion of a field.
The Replant Option is bought in conjunction with a Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) policy. It supplements the MPCI policy to help cover expenses above the loss payment of the MPCI policy.

Loss Payment Calculations
The Replant Option combines with the MPCI policy during a loss and the total payment can’t be more than the overall cost to replant. If the combination is under the overall cost to replant, the full Replant Option won’t be paid.
Total Insurance Limit
Coverage per acre * Total acres * Share
$40 per acre * 100 acres * 100% share = $4,000 limit
Replant Loss Amount
Coverage per acre * Acres Replanted * Share
$40 per acre * 25 acres * 100% share = $1,000 payment
Total Cost to replant 25 acres
