Background

The Risk Management Agency (RMA) revised the Grass Seed Crop Provisions to clarify how producers can use prices from their production contracts for crop insurance purposes. Specifically, if producers have multiple contracts with different prices, the clarifications illustrate how to calculate a weighted average price. RMA also increased the maximum contract price factor from 1.20 to 1.60 and moved the factor to the actuarial documents so that it can be updated more easily in the future.
