As announced today, Risk Management Agency (RMA) has developed the Multi-County Enterprise Unit (MCEU) Endorsement in response to requests to incorporate small amounts of acreage from one county into an enterprise unit for a contiguous county. The MCEU Endorsement attaches to eligible Common Crop Insurance Policy, Basic Provisions, and Crop Provisions for the insured crop and allows a producer to combine acreage of an insured crop, by irrigation practice, if applicable, in two contiguous counties in the same state into one enterprise unit (EU).

The CEPP - Peanuts factors necessary to establish the insured’s amount of protection under the peanut program for the 2019 CY are identified below. The factors are applied to the commodity prices for wheat, cotton, soybean oil, and soybean meal during the discovery period of December 15, 2018 to January 14, 2019. These factors apply only to states with a Sales Closing Date (SCD) of January 31, 2019.
