Farm Bill: Old vs. New Direct Payments (DP) Countercyclical Payments (CCP) Marketing Loans (LDP) Revenue Countercyclical Payments (ACRE) • Countercyclical Payments (PLC) • Marketing Loans (LDP) • Revenue Countercyclical Payments (ARC) New programs, but they have strong similarities to previous programs
Two Waves First wave: Choice on base acreage and yield updating Probably occurs June-July timeframe Second wave: Choice on farm bill programs Probably Sept-Oct Harvest the crop and farm bill at the same time
Producer Choice Have one-time choice between: PLC or ARC (can pick by commodity) If ARC is chosen, pick between county and individual coverage If individual coverage is chosen, must be taken for all covered commodities on the farm 2014-2018 crop years
Revenue Programs • Think of ARC-County as crop-by-crop • Think of ARC-Individual as whole farm
Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO) • An additional policy to cover “shallow losses” • Shallow loss = part of the deductible on the producer’s underlying crop insurance policy • SCO has a county-level payment trigger • Indemnities are paid when the county experiences losses greater than 14% • Premium subsidy: 65% • Starts in 2015 • Can’t have ARC and SCO together
