I er C. Federal Crop Insurance Corporation ja|Va8hinKton, ..Xo upgrade its crop ^Kurance service, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) is providing special training to private insurance agents. Beginning with 1983 spring crops, the agency is requiring all Federal Crop Insurance Agents to be certified “in an effort to increase program credibility and improve the quality of service provided to farmers,” said Merritt Sprague, Manager of the USDA Crop Insurance Agency. More than 16,000 professional insurance agents now sell and service Federal Crop Insurance throughout the country. “We see th§.iievelopment of a well-trained agent sales force as a positive answer to critical areas of concefn voiced by members of the agricultural community,” Sprague said. “The certification of agents serves to protect farmer interests in crop insurance as well as to increase their confidence in the agents and the programs.” Sprague said he is pleased with the early response of insurance agents to the training. More than 700 private insurance agents already have participated in the program, which will continue through December 18 at 157 locations around the country. Each training course consists of a three-day intensive study program. Topics include general crop insurance principles, actuarial development, individual crop programs, and proper completion and handling of crop insurance documents. Recent contract improvements, and procedural changes made by the Corporation will also be covered. Agents must successfully complete examinations to receive certification, Sprague said.
