2014 Crop Year Area Risk Protection Insurance (ARPI) Final County Yields and Final County Revenues for Wheat

In accordance with Section 3 of the ARPI Wheat Crop Provisions, approved final county yields and final county revenues for 2014 crop year wheat will be available by close of business today in the following formats:  Actuarial Information Browser (AIB) online reporting application  Actuarial Data Master (ADM) bulk data file download  Summary listing: http://www.rma.usda.gov/FTP/Miscellaneous_Files/Area_Yield_Data/Final_Yields In some situations, 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, Risk Management Agency (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.
