Inspection Strips are standing strips or swaths of insured crop left in from the edges of the field, a distance of about one-third (1/3) of the width of the field, for the length of the field and a minimum of 10 feet in width, for inspection by AFSC. The client is responsible for the maintenance of all inspection strips and swaths.

  • On fields up to 100 acres, two strips are required.
  • On fields over 100 acres, an additional third strip must be left in the middle of the field.

On fields over 100 acres that span multiple quarter sections, treat each quarter section as a separate field:

  • For fields up to 100 acres, two strips are required.
  • For fields over 100 acres, three strips are required.
