One policy provides the choice of three plans:

Yield Protection - Insurance coverage only providing protection against a production loss.

Revenue Protection - Insurance coverage providing protection against loss of revenue due to a production loss, price decline or increase, or a combination of both.

Revenue Protection with Harvest Price Exclusion - Insurance coverage providing protection only against loss of revenue due to a production loss, price decline, or a combination of both.

The Commodity Exchange Price Provisions (CEPP) contain information necessary to derive the projected price and the harvest price for the insured crop, as applicable. Information includes the price discovery period, release dates, boards of trade used, and additional pricing information available at crop insurance agent offices and the RMA website.

The projected price is used to calculate the premium, replant payment, and any prevented planting payment. The harvest price is used to value production-to-count under the Revenue Protection and the Revenue Protection with Harvest Price Exclusion insurance plans.

Yield Protection Guarantee - Determined by multiplying the production guarantee by the projected price. The harvest price is not used.

Revenue Protection Guarantee - Determined by multiplying the production guarantee (per acre) by the greater of the projected price or the harvest price.

Revenue Protection with Harvest Price Exclusion Guarantee - Determined by multiplying the production guarantee (per acre) by the projected price.

Choice of 50 to 85 percent of the approved average yield in 5 percent increments. For example, at the 75 percent coverage level, the farmer paid premium would be 45 percent of the total premium.

Assume 100-percent share, 70-percent coverage level, 100-percent price of $3.86, and an average yield of 150 bushels per acre.
