2026 Revenue BAND Now Available for Wheat
We are pleased to announce that 2026 Revenue BAND Coverage is now available for wheat. Previously, Revenue BAND could insure only corn and soybeans.
This exclusive product is one of the things that sets AgriSompo agents apart, so be sure to let your wheat producers know about BAND’s versatile coverage and powerful price protection. Contact your AgriSompo representative today to learn more about what Revenue BAND can do for your clients’ wheat policies.
What is BAND?
AgriSompo's highly flexible, fully customizable BAND Coverage allows you to create your own crop insurance product, just the way you like it.
At its core, BAND Coverage is a risk management tool that protects against shallow losses and provides reliable input cost recovery. A lower deductible translates to a higher trigger for the producer’s indemnity, providing support exactly when it is needed.
Also Available: ECO and SCO BAND
Our latest BAND product is an enhancement for the Enhanced Coverage Option (ECO) and Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO) endorsements.
With ECO/SCO BAND, policyholders can benefit from the additional coverage above their deductible provided by ECO or SCO, without the risk normally associated with area-based products such as these. The additional coverage on top of the ECO or SCO endorsement protects the policyholder in the case that their operation performs more poorly than others in the area.
And, since ECO/SCO are federally subsidized products, this version of BAND benefits from premium discounts.

This change will allow our Agency Services analysts to better manage relationships with agencies, agents, employees and adjusters in their regions.
Help Us Collect Policyholder Email Addresses
One of AgriSompo’s goals is to improve efficiencies and lower our carbon footprint with regard to physical mailings. We are working toward sending these documents digitally, decreasing the time for insureds to receive policy documentation.
To help us achieve this goal, please ensure your customers have a valid email address on file using the Insured Address List report in AgriNet.
This report can be found under the Reports tab. Open the Underwriting menu and select Insured Address List. The report may be exported into an Excel or PDF document. AgriSompo thanks you for your cooperation and assistance.
Important Reminder
Policyholders for Reinsurance Year 2026 will soon start to receive a notice (as required by policy) regarding changes to basic provisions, crop policies, endorsements and special provisions of insurance.
You can access past and current Insured Notifications within the Saba system. In the Crop Insurance Wiki section, click Insured Notifications. The notifications are organized by the sales closing date (when applicable) or the mailing date. We hope this will assist with any questions your customers may have after receiving a notification letter.
Insureds that are eligible for precision agriculture (PA) will also soon start receiving information about where to obtain the PA Enrollment Guidelines as required by the RMA. PA only applies to category B crops.
Please contact your AgriSompo representative if you have any questions.
Notice of Policy Document Issuance
Following sales closing dates, insureds will receive policy issuance letters along with a coverage confirmation. These documents can be viewed within AgriNet in the policy's Imaging screen.
Please contact your AgriSompo representative with any questions.
