We aren't required to register our crops unless we want to be covered in case of a natural disaster or such that affects the crops.  We did ours 1 year and it seems like it costs around $100 to register.  We had torrential rains that year and the crops were declared a disaster.  We recovered about $300, which didn't even cover our seed and plant costs.  Now, it costs around $300 per crop so we don't even bother.  We grow about 10 different veggies and at $300 per crop, and only recouping $300 total, we would be foolish to do it again. 

 

What do you have to pay per crop? 

 

The $300.00  will cover all your crops in that county. It makes no difference how many crops you have after three @ $100.00 each. 50 different crops still $300.00. TexasBill
