Commodity Program Decisions
Each FSA farm:
1. Programs yields (current or updated)2. Base acres (current or reallocated)3. For each FSA farm/crop, which program will be used to
make payments:– Price Loss Coverage (PLC) – option to buy SCO– Agriculture Risk Coverage – County level (ARC – County)– Agriculture Risk Coverage – Individual level (ARC –
Individual) * ARC-individual applies to all crops and all farms in a state
* SCO not available with ARC
Decision begin this fall on updatingCommodity program choice in winter
3
Steps for Each FSA Farm(on Farmdoc website)
1. Collect information for each FSA farm2. Determine to keep or update yields3. Determine to keep or reallocate acres4. Decide PLC or ARC-County for each crop5. Will ARC-IC be considered?6. Will SCO be considered (only if choose PLC)?7. More info and iterate back8. Complete forms / other issues

Update Yields

Determine to Keep or Update Yields
• Crop by crop decision• Choice:
– Current Yield: (FSA letter) or– Updated yield: 90% of 2008-2012 yields, plug yields for low
yields
• Choose highest yield• Only impacts PLC payments• Consider updating even if not use PLC, yields could “hang
around”• Only reason not to choose highest is if its an updated yield and
documentation is difficult to come by

Program Decision
Three choices:– PLC (Price Loss Coverage) – can have SCO
• Target price (now reference price) program– ARC-County – can not have SCO
• Agricultural Risk Coverage • County level revenue program
– ARC-IC – ARC individual – can not have SCO• Farm Level revenue program• All crops together in guarantee calculations• Not be used much, explain why latter
Except for ARC-IC, all program by FSA farm/crop, ARC-IC is per farm
15
Suggestions for Program Decisions
• Rank order expected payments
• Know for each crop, break points between PLC / ARC – County

Thank you and Questions
Bonus Slides
1. Collect Info for Each FSA Farm
From FSA (you should have received a letter for each farm with the following information)
– Base acres– Program yields– Planted acres
Other– Yields from 2008 to 2012
26
2. Determine to Keep or Update Yields

Program Decision
Three choices:– PLC (Price Loss Coverage) – can have SCO
• Target price (now reference price) program– ARC-County – can not have SCO
• Agricultural Risk Coverage • County level revenue program
– ARC-IC – ARC individual – can not have SCO• Farm Level revenue program• All crops together in guarantee calculations• Not be used much, explain why latter
Except for ARC-IC, all program by FSA farm/crop, ARC-IC is per farm
30
Examples: 2 FSA farms, corn and soybeans each farm
Example 1Farm 1 Corn – ARC-County Soybeans – PLCFarm 2 Corn – ARC-County Soybeans – PLC
31
Example 2Farm 1 Corn – ARC-County Soybeans – ARC-CountyFarm 2 Corn – ARC-County Soybeans – PLC
Example 3Farm 1 Corn – ARC-County Soybeans – ARC-CountyFarm 2 ARC-IC – all crops
Other Points
• Payments are made on base acres, not planted acre for PLC and ARC-County.
• Plantings matter under ARC-IC but payments made on total base acres
• Farmers could easily make different decisions on each farm.
32
4. Decide ARC-County or PLC
ARC-CountyARC-County is a county revenue program – payments below a guarantee, guarantee is based on past 5 yields and Market-Year-Average prices
Given current benchmark prices , ARC-County likely to make larger payments than PLC
PLCPLC is a target price program – payments are made when below a reference price
Reference Price: Corn: $3.70 Soybeans: $8.40 Wheat: $5.50

Break Points
• Corn ($3.70 reference price)ARC-County make higher payments if MYA price averages above $3.30 (all five years)
• Soybeans ($8.40 reference price)ARC-County higher payments > $7.80
• Wheat ($5.50 reference price)ARC-County higher payments > $5.50
37
PLC / ARC-County
• PLC is attractive if farmer believes (or is concerned about) low prices well below reference rates
• ARC-County is attractive if lower prices, near or above reference prices
ARC-County for corn and soybeans likely to make higher payments, but be aware of disaster price risk
38
7. Enroll Farm in ARC-Individual
Not likely, why?– Whole farm insurance (group all
crops/FSA farms together)– ARC-Individual pays on 65% of base
acres, ARC-County and PLC on 85% of base acres
Maybe use ARC-Individual for one farm with extreme yields and one crop, but if you get two they will average together
39
6. Will SCO be Considered
SCO is crop insurance, through crop insurance agent, not FSA, no FSA signup
Only available under PLC
Provide county triggered coverage from 86% to COMBO product coverage level
40
SCO eligibility1. Do not select ARC as commodity program choice2. Be in a county where SCO is offered (see map).3. Select a COMBO product (RP, RPwExcl, YP)
3. Decide Whether SCO is an Alternative You Will Consider?
Observations:
• If an 85% COMBO product is available, very little additional risk protection under SCO,
• SCO+RP will have premiums mostly above 75% coverage level
• SCO products may have higher returns than COMBO product. Picking SCO with RP-80% may have net payments (insurance payments – premiums) of $5 per acre more than RP-85%. Preliminary estimate need to see rates
• Many Midwest farmers will be indifferent (not a big deal)

My point:

SCO at 70% and higher coverage levels is at or above RP 80% alone.
ARC-Individual Example
ARC – Individual
• ARC – Individual is best thought of as whole-farm insurance, payments are calculated based on whole-farm revenue
• Rates are calculated across all FSA farms enrolled in ARC – Individual
• Planted acres determine weights in benchmark revenue
• Payments are made on base acres x .65
47
ARC – Individual
ARC-Individual will make payments when a farm’s actual revenue falls below .86 times benchmark revenue
Actual revenue equals sum of each crops’ revenue (National Market Year Average price x farm yield) weighted based on planted acres
Benchmark revenue equals sum of each crops’ benchmark weighted based on planted acres.
48
ARC – Individual2014 Example
The following example shows a 2014 payment for one FSA farm with 100 total base acres. In this example, no other farms are enrolled in ARC – Individual
In 2014, the farm plants:
60% of acres in corn40% of acres in soybeans

1Revenue equals maximum of national market year average price or reference price ($3.70 for corn, $8.40 for soybeans) times farm yield
Each crop’s benchmark revenue equals Olympic average of revenues: Corn: $831 = ($881 + $758 + $855) / 3 Soybeans: $681 = ($667 + $700 + $675) / 3

ARC -- IndividualBenchmark Revenue and
GuaranteeBenchmark Revenue weights each crop’s benchmark revenue by proportion of program crop acres planted on ARC-Individual farms
Corn Soybeans $771 = $831 x .60 + $681 x .40
Guarantee is .86 x benchmark revenue:
$663 = .86 x $771 benchmark revenue
51
ARC – Individual2014 Revenue
A farm’s revenue equals each crop’s revenue weighted by proportion of acres:
$3.75 MYA corn price185 bushel per acre corn yield$11 MYA soybean price50 bushel per acre soybean yield
$636 = .6 x ($3.75 x 185) + .4 x ($11 x 50)
52
ARC – Individual Payment Rate
Payment rate equals ARC guarantee minus revenue
$27 Rate = $663 Guarantee - $636 Revenue
Rate can not be less than one.
Rate can not be more than 10% of benchmark revenue ($77 = .10 x $771). 53
ARC – Individual Payment
Payment equals payment rate x base acres x .65 (payment acres are 65% of total base acres)
$27 payment rate 100 base acres
$1,755 = $27 payment rate x .65 x 100 acres
