Malting Barley Endorsement

The Malting Barley Endorsement (MBE) utilizes a Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) soft red winter wheat price component to derive the 2016 CY harvest price for any insured whose malt barley contract provides for a premium amount above or below a base price to be determined, and in which the base price is not determined by the acreage reporting date. Please see the MBE for details: www.rma.usda.gov/policies/2016/16-0091b.pdf

Spring Planted Type CBOT September SRW Wheat $4.07/bushel
       
Margin Protection Plan

The following 2016 CY margin harvest prices are approved for the Margin Protection Plan.
