2015 Crop Year (CY) Dry Pea and Dry Bean Crop Provisions and Revenue Endorsement: Selected Projected Prices, Volatility Factors, and Additional Projected Prices, as applicable, for States with a March 15, 2015 Sales Closing Date (SCD).

Dry Pea and Dry Bean Crop Provisions and Revenue Endorsement

The approved 2015 CY projected prices shown below are for the Yield Protection, Revenue Protection, and Revenue Protection with Harvest Price Exclusion plans of insurance. The approved 2015 CY volatility factors shown below are for the Revenue Protection and Revenue Protection with Harvest Price Exclusion plans of insurance. The projected prices and volatility factors are applicable for the states, crops, and types indicated in the subsequent tables.

As authorized by the Special Provisions, RMA is providing additional projected prices for selected dry bean and dry pea types where the Dry Bean Revenue Endorsement (DBRE) and Dry Pea Revenue Endorsement (DPRE) do not offer coverage for price movement. Per the Special Provisions, the additional projected price shall be the basis for the premium determination and settlement of claims.

The amount of data collected for Michigan dark red kidney and pinto prices did not satisfy the requirements stipulated in the DBRE. Consequently, these types produced in Michigan will not have coverage for price movement.
