Agents: Keying Nursery Value Select (NVS) & Turfgrass Value Select (TVS)

This guide saves agents time by walking through the exact AgriNet steps to set up CAT and Buy-Up policies for Nursery (NVS) and Turfgrass (TVS), including when and where to select Types, Practices, and supplemental HIP‑WI coverage. It highlights key differences between CAT and Buy‑Up workflows (single-plan CAT vs. per-Type Buy‑Up), required fields (peak/BL rules, unit/share settings), and how to rate and print required forms.

**PLEASE NOTE:** The process for setting up **CAT coverage** policies for **NVS** and **TVS** differs from the process used for **Buy-Up** policies. Please refer to the **CAT Policy** section of this guide for detailed keying instructions. For **Buy-Up** policies, a separate **Plan of Coverage** must be created for each **Type** of plant (NVS) or turfgrass. To add a Buy-Up policy, refer to the **Add a New Buy-Up Policy** section of this guide.

Refer to the chart for TVS to key for CAT coverage versus Buy-up coverage.
