Subject:

2018 Crop Year Area Risk Protection Insurance (ARPI) Final County Yields and Final County Revenues for Wheat; 2018 Crop Year Margin Protection (MP) Final County Yields, Harvest Revenue and Harvest Margins for Wheat

In accordance with Section 3 of the ARPI Crop Provisions and Section 14 of the MP Crop Provisions, approved final county yields, final county revenues, harvest revenues and harvest margins for the 2018 crop year wheat will be available by close of business today in the following formats:

In some situations, for ARPI and MP, the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) was unable to publish a county estimate on the same basis as the offer available. Where NASS was unable to publish a county estimate, RMA determined the final county yield in accordance with the ARPI and MP basic provisions. The attachment identifies the RMA basis for final county yield determination in the affected counties with policies.
