Stacked Income Protection Plan (STAX) Only for cotton and began in 2015
80% premium subsidy Modified version of county-level GRIP (with harvest revenue
option) Expected revenue: Max of GRP yield or 5 year Olympic
average yield x higher of crop insurance base price Actual revenue: County yield x crop insurance harvest price Maximum 90% coverage (10% deductible) Maximum range of payments is 90-70% of expected revenue Do not have to purchase individual-level coverage If in STAX, not eligible for SCO

An Overview In 2014 CBO estimated STAX would cost $3.29 Billion over 10
years
2015 STAX subsidy $75.5 million
2.47 million acres insured with STAX
8.50 million acres of individual coverage cotton insurance

Representative Farm Analysis
![Page 18: Keith Coble Giles Distinguished Professor - USDA Coble Giles Distinguished Professor coble@agecon.misstate.edu Follow me: @DrKeithhCoble ... 1% WFRP 1% YP 5% RP 77% RPHPE 0% …](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022014/5b4225157f8b9a2e058b6b70/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Methods Model several hundred counties for cotton, wheat,
soybeans, rice and corn with data back to 1974 Market-year average prices from NASS, same time
periodRelative price changes are computed
Representative farm-level yield variability obtained by matching variability to RMA base county rates
![Page 19: Keith Coble Giles Distinguished Professor - USDA Coble Giles Distinguished Professor coble@agecon.misstate.edu Follow me: @DrKeithhCoble ... 1% WFRP 1% YP 5% RP 77% RPHPE 0% …](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022022014/5b4225157f8b9a2e058b6b70/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Results – STAX is chosen Analyzed representative farm in 145 major
cotton producing countiesAssumed moderately risk averse 1000 acre
cotton farm. In 145 of 145 counties some STAX is optimalAverage increase in risk-adjusted returns
$9.15/acre (range $3.79 to $19.07)

Why not more STAX ?– Answers I have heard1. Farmers prefer individual coverage
- Correlation- Differences in yield perception
2. Good preseason weather led producers to skip STAX
3. Yield Exclusion was a better deal4. Farmers did not have full information on
STAX

The Correlation Issue
Representative farms are ‘typical’
The reality is that farms vary within a county
Often hear “my average is above the county average”
The real question is whether farm yield moves up and down with the county yield
Example: Matagorda County, TexasCorrelation of farm-county yield ranges from 0.18
to 0.93

APH Yield Exclusion (YE) 2015 Participation
Near 90% of cotton eligible
Only 23% used YE
More than a 20% bump in APH when used
Similar story in other crops – low YE participation

Six Questions to Ask Your Insurance Provider
1. What about enterprise units?
2. Will trend adjusted yields let me maintain coverage but at a lower coverage level?
3. How much will the APH yield exclusion can raise my APH?
4. What is the premium for different coverage levels?
5. What about topping off individual coverage with SCO or STAX for cotton?
6. What about separate coverage levels by irrigated/non-irrigated practice?
