NCIS Agronomic
Research Results
By Drs. Mark Zarnstorff and James Houx, NCIS
For more than 90 years, National Crop Insurance Services (NCIS) and its predecessor organizations, have conducted loss adjustment research
on growing crops. Updates to, or new loss adjustment procedures have originated from the NCIS
Agriculture Research program, under the direction of the NCIS Board of Directors. Projects are
conducted at university experiment stations and
agricultural colleges across the United States, as
well as some locations in Canada. All projects are
examined over the course of at least three years;
however, if for some reason the results are not obtained for one or more years, the research project
may be extended.
To know which crops need to be addressed,
NCIS relies on company field adjusters, claims
supervisors and university researchers for advice.
The NCIS research program then focuses on designing experiments that will result in data used
to create up-to-date, consistent, and timely loss
adjustment procedures. NCIS currently has 17
research projects across 13 states from Washington to South Carolina, and from Saskatchewan,
Canada, to New Mexico.
In 2016, NCIS performed research on canola,
chickpeas, chile peppers, corn, cotton, soybeans,
potatoes, and wheat, and the results are summarized in this article. It is important that these results are not used exclusively, but combined with
results from previous years' research, and any
subsequent research, to provide the best loss adjustment procedures for NCIS members.

Research on Saskatchewan canola was done to
reexamine the influence of stem breakage during
the flowering stages of hybrid spring canola
growth and development. Original research was
done in the early 1980s on open pollinated varieties that have very different growth rates and plant
vigor compared to the hybrid varieties grown
currently. This trial was done at two locations just
outside of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, during the
