- Malting Barley Endorsement
-
The Malting Barley Endorsement (MBE) utilizes a Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) soft red wheat price component to derive the projected price for any insured whose malt barley contract provides for a premium amount above or below a base price to be determined, and the base price is not determined by the acreage reporting date. Please see the MBE for details: Policies Document

- Hybrid Seed Price Endorsement
-
The following 2016 CY hybrid seed corn prices have been approved for the Hybrid Seed Price Endorsement: $3.87 per bushel for the non-organic practice; and $8.42 per bushel for the certified organic practice.
These amounts reflect the higher values of either: 1) the previously-released 2016 crop year MPCI hybrid seed corn price elections [non-organic practice: $3.87 per bushel; certified organic practice: $8.35 per bushel]; or 2) the futures-based price derived from the average daily settlement price in February for the 2016 December CBOT corn contract [non-organic practice: $3.86 per bushel], multiplied by an organic corn price factor [certified organic practice: $8.42 per bushel].
