Crop Insurance Shifts to Actual Production History Method
Federal crop insurers will base coverage on a farmer’s actual production history. The program starts with corn and grain sorghum this year and wheat and soybeans next year. Farmers with no records receive a transitional yield. those with some years of data use those years, with the highest and lowest trimmed from a 10 year span, to determine guarantees. Farmers must report 1985 production per unit and provide all records for future insured years.
