2018 Crop Year Area Risk Protection Insurance (ARPI) Final County Yields for Forage Production; 2018 Crop Year Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO) Final Area Yields for Almonds, Blueberries, Peaches, Apples, Grapes, Prunes, Walnuts, Grapefruit, Tangelos, Oranges, Lemons, and Mandarins/Tangerines
In accordance with Section 15 of the ARPI Crop Provisions and Section 10 of the SCO Endorsement, approved final county yields for the 2018 crop year will be available by close of business today in the following formats:
- Actuarial Information Browser (AIB) online reporting application: https://webapp.rma.usda.gov/apps/actuarialinformationbrowser/
- Actuarial Data Master (ADM) bulk data file download: ftp://ftp.rma.usda.gov/pub/References/actuarial_data_master/
- Summary listing: https://webapp.rma.usda.gov/apps/RIRS/AreaPlanReports.aspx
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.
