Production Risk Management1. How Does A Bull Market Influence
Crop Insurance Decisions?2. Insuring Production Costs?
a. Increase In Crop Prices Between Planting And Harvestb. Little Correlationc. Not Really An Issue
3. Crop Replacement Costsa. Expect To Use Corn Crop To Feed Cattleb. Replacing Such A Crop With Higher Priced Corn Is An Issue

Multiple Peril Crop Insurance1. Original FCIC, Subsidized
Crop Insurance
2. Producer Establishes An APH
3. Producer Chooses A Coverage Level
a. 50%-75% (Or 85%) Of APH
4. Producer Chooses A Price Election
a. 55%-100% Of MPCIPrice Forecast
5. Premium Equals The Maximum Indemnity Multiplied By The Premium Rate

MPCI Spring Wheat Example
Contract Data Value Calculation
APH Yield 50 bu. producer
Coverage Level 70% producer*
Yield Guarantee 35 bu. 0.70 x 50 bu.
MPCI Price Forecast $9.00/bu. RMA
Price Election 100% producer*
Elected Price $9.00/bu. 1.0 x $9.00

MPCI Spring Wheat Example1. Suppose You Actually Harvest 33
Bushels Per Acre2. You Receive An Indemnity Because
33 Bushels Is Less Than YourYield Guarantee Of 35 Bushels.
3. You Receive The DifferenceIn Bushelsa. 35 – 33 = 2 bu/ac
4. Valued At Your Elected Pricea. 2 bu/ac x $9.00/bu = $18/ac
5. Harvest Price Of $12.00/bua. 33 bu/ac x $12.00/bu = $396/ac

Revenue Assurance (RA)
1. Can Insure Optional, Basic, Or Enterprise Units
2. Producer Establishes An APH
3. Producer Chooses ACoverage Level
a. 50%-75%
4. RMA Establishes A “Projected Harvest Price”
a. Formula-Based Off Of September MGE Futures Price
12
Revenue Assurance (RA)
5. RA Basic Revenue Guaranteea. APH Yield x Coverage Level x RMA Projected Harvest Price
6. Producers May Choose a “Harvest Price Option”
a. RA Harvest Revenue Guaranteeb. APH Yield x Coverage Level x RMA Harvest Price
7. Producers Receive An Indemnity If “Crop Value” Is Less Than
The Basic Revenue Guarantee (Or, The Harvest Revenue Guarantee)
13
RA Example
Contract Data Value Calculation
APH Yield 50 bu. producer
Coverage Level 70% producer*
RMA Price Forecast $11.00/bu. RMA
RA Basic
Revenue Guarantee$385/ac
50 bu. X 0.70 x $11.00
14
RA Example: Price Increase
1. Suppose You Actually Harvest 33 Bushels Per Acre
2. But, The Actual RMA-Determined Harvest Price Increased To $12.00/bushel
a. Rather Than The Projected Harvest Price of $11.00/bu.
3. Your “Crop Value” Is
a. 33 bu/ac x $12.00/bu = $396/ac
15
RA Example: Price Increase
4. You Do Not Receive An Indemnity From Basic Harvest Revenue Guarantee
a. $396/ac > $385/ac5. Under The Harvest Price Option, You Would Receive An Indemnity
a. Harvest Revenue Guarantee Is 50 bu x .70 x $12.00/bu $420/ac
b. $396/ac < $420/acc. $24/ac Indemnity

CRC Insurance
1. Can Insure Optional, Basic, Or Enterprise Units
2. Producer Establishes An APH For Each Unit
3. Producer Chooses ACoverage Level
a. 50%-75% (or 85%)
4. RMA Establishes A “Base Price”
5. Producer Chooses 95% or 100% Price Election
18
CRC Insurance
6. Minimum Revenue Guarantee
a. APH Yield x Coverage Level x RMA Base Price x Price
Election
7. Producer Receives AnIndemnity When
a. Actual Yield Multiplied ByThe RMA “Harvest Price”
Is Less Than The Minimum Revenue Guarantee
19
CRC Insurance
8. Producer Minimum Revenue Guarantee Is Adjusted Upward If
a. RMA Harvest Price Is Greater Than The RMA Base Price
9. CRC Insurance Results In
a. Downward Yield Protection
b. Downward Price Protection
c. Upward Price Participation

CRC Wheat Example
Contract Data Value Calculation
APH Yield 50 bu. producer
Coverage Election 70% producer*
RMA Base Price $11.00/bu RMA
Price Election 100% producer*
Initial Minimum
Revenue Guarantee$385/ac
50 bu. x 0.70 x $11.00 x 1.0
21
CRC Example: Price Increase
1. Suppose You Actually Harvest 33
Bushels Per Acre
2. But, The RMA Harvest Price Increased
To $12.00/bushel (Rather Than The
RMA Base Price of $11.00/bu.)
3. Your New Minimum
Revenue Guarantee
a. 50 x 0.70 x $12.00 x 1.0 =
$420/ac
22
CRC Example: Price Increase
4. Your New Crop Value Is
a. 33 bu/ac x $12.00/bu = $396/ac
5. Your Indemnity Is
a. $420 - $396 = $24/ac
6. If The Price Increase WasNot Considered
a. Your Indemnity Would Be Zero
b. $396 > $385/ac
