In accordance with Section 15 of the ARPI Crop Provisions, final county yields for the 2019 crop year will be available by close of business today in the following formats:

In some situations for ARPI, 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 basic provisions. The attachment identifies the RMA basis for final county yield determination in the affected counties with policies.
