You may choose one price election and one coverage level for each grape type specified in the special provisions. However, if you choose the Catastrophic Risk Protection (CAT) insurance level for any varietal group that coverage level and price applies to all your insured grapes in the county. For any unharvested acreage with damage, the price used to determine your indemnity amount is adjusted for expenditures not incurred. This is your price election minus the harvest cost amount specified in the actuarial documents.

Price elections are the price of compensation paid, per ton, in the event of a loss. For current prices, please contact your crop insurance agent. Price elections for each type are not required to have the same percentage relationship to the maximum price we offer for each type (for example, if you chooses 100 percent of the maximum price election for one type, you may choose 80 percent of the maximum price election for all other types).

According to section 3(d) of the Grape Crop Provisions, the price contained in your grape contract may be used for your price election. The contract price used is the amount per ton specified in the contract without regard to incentives or discounts. If more than one contract price exists, the established price election is the weighted average for all adjusted contract prices. The price is always less than the maximum contract price provided in the actuarial documents for the applicable grape type/variety.

You choose a coverage level of 50 to 85 percent of your approved average yield (in 5-percent increments). CAT coverage is available at the 50 percent coverage level and 55 percent of maximum price election.

CAT Coverage - $300 per crop per county.

Additional Coverage - $30 per crop per county.

Assume wine grapes, 100 percent share, 70 percent coverage level, a 100 percent price election of $900, and an average yield of 5 tons actual production history.
