Federally subsidized crop insurance for Iowa farmers. MPCI protects your corn, soybeans, wheat, and other crops against yield losses, revenue declines, and natural disasters across every county in the Hawkeye State.
Iowa agriculture is diverse and productive — from the rich prairie soils of central Iowa to the rolling hills of southern Iowa and the Missouri River bluffs of western Iowa. With corn, soybeans, wheat, and specialty crops grown across the state, Iowa farmers face risks from drought, flooding, hail, early frost, and commodity price volatility.
Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) is the foundation of risk management for Iowa producers. The federal program subsidizes 50% to 75% of your premium, making comprehensive crop protection affordable. Brawner Insurance is headquartered in Kirksville and Kahoka, IA — serving Iowa farmers across the border — putting us right in the heart of Iowa farming country. We serve Iowa producers from our offices just across the Iowa border in northeast Missouri.
Iowa weather is unpredictable. From the 2019 floods to the 2012 drought, MPCI has paid billions to Iowa farmers. If you grow crops in Iowa, you need this coverage.

Iowa MPCI is available for corn, soybeans, wheat, grain sorghum, grain sorghum, and several other crops depending on the county. Not every crop is insurable in every county. We verify which crops and plans are available for your specific Iowa county and operation.
MPCI premiums in Iowa vary by county, crop, coverage level, plan type, and your individual yield history. The federal government subsidizes 50% to 75% of the total premium depending on your coverage level. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on these factors. We provide free premium estimates for every Iowa county.
Iowa is one of the most hail-prone states in the Midwest. While MPCI covers yield and revenue losses, it does not pay on a per-acre basis for direct physical hail damage. Crop hail insurance fills that gap with faster claim settlements. We recommend crop hail as a supplement to MPCI for most Iowa corn and soybean producers.
Yes. SCO and ECO are available in Iowa for most insured crops. SCO covers the band from your individual MPCI level to 86% on PLC acres. ECO covers from 86% to 90% or 95% on both ARC-CO and PLC acres. Together with your base MPCI policy, they provide the maximum crop insurance coverage available.
