2013 Changes

Page 4: Regional Update

Region-wide changes

• Wheat T-Yields were updated• Grain Sorghum T-Yields updated and Rates

were reviewed • Corn and Soybeans Rates were reviewed

Page 5: Regional Update

2013 Proposed Double Crop Statements and FAC/NFAC

Key Criteria in Development of 2013 Statements/Definitions:o Local conditions, notably length of season and soil moisture, primary drivers in setting

restrictions.o Continue to rely on university/other research and experienceo Increase flexibility in 2013 for haying and grazing of ‘another crop’ and/or cover crop,

based on guidance in recent Manager’s Bulletins

Key Proposed Changes in Kansas, Nebraska & Colorado:o Allow harvesting of “another crop” and “cover crop”o Except for West, allow more springtime growth of cover crops. o Define “termination”

2013 Proposed Double Crop Statements

Key changes from 2012 are bolded (additions) or red strikeout (deletions)

South Central/Eastern Kansas

Insurance shall not attach or be considered to have attached without a written agreement to a planted non-irrigated crop on acreage from which, in the same calendar year:1) A perennial hay crop was harvested; or2) A crop (other than a cover crop) reached the headed or budded stage prior to termination, regardless of the percentage of plants that reach the headed or budded stage, or has been harvested; 3) A cover crop is terminated after 50% of the cover crop has headed or budded. For purposes of insurability under this Special Provision, a cover crop is one that meets the definition of a cover crop in the Basic Provisions and was planted within the last 12 months. Termination means growth has ended. To qualify for a written agreement, you must provide a minimum of three years of your double cropping actual production history for the crop in the county.

Page 7: Regional Update

Eastern Kansas, Eastern Nebraska

Insurance shall not attach or be considered to have attached to a planted non-irrigated crop on acreage from which, in the same calendar year:1) A perennial hay crop was harvested; or2) A crop (other than a cover crop) reached the headed or budded stage prior to

termination, regardless of the percentage of plants that reach the headed or budded stage, or has been harvested;

3) A cover crop is terminated after 50% of the cover crop has headed or budded.

(Definition of cover crop, termination)

Western Kansas. Western Nebraska, Colorado:

Insurance shall not attach or be considered to have attached to a planted non-irrigated crop on acreage from which, in the same calendar year: 1) A perennial hay crop was harvested; or2) A crop, including a cover crop, reached the headed or budded stage prior to

termination, regardless of the percentage of plants that reach the headed or budded stage, or has been harvested; .

Cover Crops and Summer Fallow• To qualify for the SF practice, the acreage must not have been planted to a

crop the preceding crop year and remain fallow for a full crop year.

• Planting a cover crop during the fallow period affects the insurability of your next wheat crop.

• If a crop was planted on acreage qualifying as summer fallow the preceding crop year but was terminated by JUNE 1, and any later growth is controlled by mechanical or chemical means, the acreage will qualify as summer fallow the next crop year.

• Please see our FAQ at:http://www.rma.usda.gov/help/faq/summerfallow.html

New Breaking

For the second year in a row a new statement will be added to the actuarial for Corn, Grain Sorghum and Soybeans

The biggest change will be that in most cases the AIP will approve coverage without a Written Agreement

The only cases that will now come to the RO will be when the acreage limitation, date of breaking or, soil criteria are not met

Page 13: Regional Update

New Breaking – Corn, Soybeans, Grain Sorghum

Through a new statement in the Special Provisions the AIP can approve without Written Agreement if:

75% of the acreage by field is composed of soil types defined as Capability Class I, II, III, or IV.oNRCS Web Soil Surveyohttp://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/HomePage.htm ; and

The land must have been broken/ chemically sprayed… Either Prior to Planting or On or before November 30 prior to

planting (Depending on the county); and

Nebraska New Breaking

11/30 No Date SpecifiedCorn, Soybeans, and Grain Sorghum only

Page 15: Regional Update

November 30

Page 16: Regional Update

New Breaking is insurable without a Written Agreement if: (Continued)

The producer provides a NRCS Conservation Plan, if required by NRCS; and

The newly broken acreage is <320 acres; andIf any of the above requirements are not met, this land will be insurable only by Written Agreement. Any new breaking acreage (on a whole field basis) that exceeds the 320 acres requires a written agreement. Only the acreage that exceeds 320 acres requires a written agreement. Up to 320 acres may be approved under the Special Provisions statement.

Page 17: Regional Update

New Breaking – Corn, Soybeans, Grain Sorghum

MGR-12-017 sets in place new rules for acreage converted to cropland:

Provide insurance for new breaking acreage at 80 percent of the applicable published county T-Yield in the actuarial documents without a written agreement if the producer and acreage meets all requirements of the Special Provisions statement, including providing documentation that the new breaking acreage has previously been broken and planted to a crop in the past

Page 18: Regional Update

New Breaking – Corn, Soybeans, Grain Sorghum

MGR-12-017 sets in place new rules for acreage converted to cropland:

Provide insurance for new breaking acreage at 65 percent of the applicable published county T-Yield in the actuarial documents without a written agreement if the producer cannot provide documentation that the new breaking acreage has been previously broken and planted to a crop in the past, however, the producer does meet all other requirements of the Special Provisions statement

Page 19: Regional Update

New Breaking - Documenting land was previously cropped

• What cannot be used:– The producer certification on the request it was

cropped. – Just because the requested ground is terraced is

not considered documentation.• What can be used:

– The previous crop year’s FSA 578 showing the land as cropland, or

– A FSA 578 showing the prior crop the new breaking acreage was planted to.

Page 20: Regional Update

New Breaking

MGR-12-017 sets in place new rules for acreage converted to cropland:

New breaking T-Yields established by RMA Regional Office written agreements will be limited to a maximum of 80 percent of the applicable published county T-Yield. Variable T-Yield percentages do not apply to new breaking T-Yields assigned by RMA Regional Office written agreement. This action item will begin with crops that are eligible for new breaking written agreements and have sales closing dates after September 30, 2012

Remove the requirement to apply variable T-Yield percentages to the resulting new breaking T-Yield

Page 21: Regional Update

New Breaking

Remember these rules that were in place for 2012 and remain in place for 2013:

Disallow simple average T-Yields and new producer T-Yields Require establishment of a separate APH database in the initial

crop year the new breaking acreage is insured; and Disallow prevented planting coverage in the initial year the new

breaking acreage is broken out for planting

• For 2013 Available on Corn, Soybeans (KS & NE only) and Wheat (KS & NE only)

• Could possibly see expansion to other crops

High-Risk Alternative Coverage Endorsement (HR-ACE)

• Provides insureds an opportunity to insure high-risk land on a separate additional coverage policy with coverage greater then CAT but less than the coverage on the base policy

• 508(h) submission, AIPs are not required to offer• Must elect the endorsement by the sales closing date• Eligible crops are corn, soybeans, grain sorghum and wheat in

the following counties

Page 32: Regional Update

High Risk Alt Coverage Option

Available in Counties with Insurance offers applicable to High Risk Maps

Page 33: Regional Update

Breached Levees

• Land flooded due to a breach in a levee resulting from prior year(s) flooding is insurable. The applicable rate will be assigned based on conditions of the levee and soils on the latter of the sales closing date or earliest planting date. If, by that date, the levee has not been repaired to prior specifications, or if damaged soil (if any) has not been restored to at least the same crop yield potential as prior to the flood event, the land will be classified as high risk and will have the highest rate classification in the county. However, if the levee has been repaired to prior specifications and the soil has at least the same crop yield potential as before the flood, the land will be classified as shown on the current crop year Actuarial Map

• This statement will be removed from the following counties: – Nebraska: Nemaha – Kansas: Leavenworth, Wyandotte

Page 67: Regional Update

Kansas Summary of Change

• The FAC and NFAC statements have been updated again for 2012 to modify the cover crop language for soybeans.

Page 68: Regional Update

2013 ProposedFAC/NFAC Definitions

Key changes from 2012 are bolded (additions) or red strikeout (deletions)

Southeastern corner of Kansas:

FAC (Following Another Crop): A planted crop following:1) A perennial hay crop that was harvested in the same calendar year; or 2) A crop (other than a cover crop) that has reached the headed or budded stage prior to termination, regardless of the percentage of plants that reached the headed or budded stage, and/or has been harvested in same cal. year; and3) A cover crop that was terminated after 50% of the cover crop has headed or budded.

NFAC (Not Following Another Crop): A planted crop not following:1) A perennial hay crop that was harvested in the same calendar year; and2) A crop (other than a cover crop) that has reached the headed or budded stage prior

to termination, regardless of the percentage of plants that reached the headed or budded stage; and/or has been harvested in same cal. year; and

3) 3) A cover crop that was terminated after 50% of the cover crop has headed or budded.

LIMITED IRRIGATION PROPOSAL

Page 73: Regional Update

Section 9(b) 0f the Common Crop Insurance Policy

you must report as irrigated only that acreage for which you have adequate facilities and adequate water, or the reasonable expectation of receiving adequate water at the time coverage begins, to carry out a good irrigation practice. If you knew or had reason to know that your water may be reduced before coverage begins, no reasonable expectation exists.

Page 74: Regional Update

Currently this gives the producer the following options:

• Reduce planting to only those acres that have adequate water and facilities to produce the APH Approved Yield.

• For the remaining acres:– Plant and report as non-irrigated; or– If an insurable event during the prevented planting

insurance period causes a reduction in available irrigation water supply, the producer may report and receive a prevented planting guarantee on the qualifying acres.

Page 75: Regional Update

Potential for Insuring Limited Irrigation

• Can plant all acreage with less than full supply of water

• Would require an adjustment of the APH yield• Basis of adjustment must be able to be consistently

applied regardless of insurance company• Use collaborative work of irrigation experts at KSU,

UNL, and CSU

Page 76: Regional Update

Where We Are Now

• RMA is in the process of contracting a study to look at the feasibility of offering a limited irrigation program

• For 2013 the Topeka RO is offering a limited irrigation practice in parts of Sheridan and Thomas counties in KS

• Special Provisions of Insurance Statements will be placed in these two counties. The result will be that the Topeka RO will entertain requests for limited irrigation coverage under a Type Practice type of written agreement

• The written agreement will assign a Yield for limited irrigation

Limited Irrigation PracticeKansas – Irrigated Corn & Soybeans

THOMAS SHERIDAN

LEMA HPA Area SD-6 (As of Oct. 11th, 2012)

Page 78: Regional Update

Special Provisions StatementIf you intend to apply less irrigation water than was used to establish your irrigated approved APH yield and you are in a Local Enhanced Management Area (LEMA), you may qualify for a written agreement to establish coverage for a limited irrigation practice. In addition to providing the minimum supporting documentation for a type/practice written agreement, you must also provide: Your LEMA order from the Chief Engineer or delegate to apply less irrigation water within a five year period than historically used to support your irrigation practice;Your historical water use for each unit or APH data base for which a limited irrigation practice yield is requested. Water use records must be provided for at least the most recent 4 years of APH yields to be considered. Acceptable water use records include your annual water use reports, as recorded on the State’s Water Right Information System (WRIS) or the water right file in the Division of Water Resource’s Stockton office and must be expressed in gross acre inches; Your intended maximum level of irrigation for the current year, in gross acre-inches; Your type of irrigation system (Center Pivot, Improved Gravity, or Gravity); andAny other pertinent information to establish the distribution of irrigation water from a point of diversion to multiple fields, if applicable. The request for written agreement and all supporting documentation must be submitted to the Regional Office through your crop insurance agent on or before the acreage reporting date. The following site provides additional information that may be useful in making the request to the Regional Office: http://www.rma.usda.gov/aboutrma/fields/ks_rso/
