3 Decisions to be Made 1. Base Acre Reallocation Decision 2. Payment Yield Update Decision 3. Decision between Price Loss Coverage PLC (price based) Agriculture Risk Coverage ARC (revenue based) 4. Integrating Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO) with crop insurance 3
4 Consider YOUR Objectives What are your risk management needs? What are your objectives with ARC, PLC/SCO choices? Yield risk, price risk, revenue risk, catastrophic low prices Are you attempting to maximize farm program payments or manage revenue risk? Balance and consider near-term payments vs. long-term risk management. Get comfortable with your risk position no matter what happens in the future. 4
5 Timeline for Actions Updated by USDA Base Acre Reallocation and Yield Updates: September 29, 2014 through February 27, 2015 March 31, 2015 Selection of Crop Insurance Options, RP, ACR, SCO March 1 through March 15, 2015 Election of ARC-CO, ARC-IC, or PLC for November 17, 2014 through March 31, 2015 ARC/PLC Annual Enrollment for crop years: Proposed for Mid-April through Summer of

9 Base Acre Decision & Payment Yield Decision Update Decision (Base & Yield) : A current OWNER makes the update decision: Reallocate or Retain Base Acres Update or Retain Yields NOTE: Current owner is defined as an owner on the farm the day the CCC-858 form is submitted to the county office 9
10 Base Acre Decision Reallocate based on plantings Do not reallocate, keep current base 12 Farm owners get a one-time opportunity to reallocate base acres. Not an increase of your total base acres, but a reallocation among your base acres.

19 The Value of Corn & Soybean Base The following slides compare the value of corn and soybean base in Kossuth and Lucas Counties by comparing estimated 5-yr total payments from ARC and PLC for corn and for soybeans on graphs. The line that is further to the right and lower is the dominant choice at that particular probability. 21
20 Understanding Charts Used in the Analysis Probability that payment will be that amount or lower The line being to the right shows dominance The line being to the right shows dominance 22 CDF graph: Cumulative Distributive Function
21 The value of Corn & Soybean Base The right most line shows dominance Both corn choices are dominant compared to the soybean choices. 23
22 The value of Corn & Soybean Base The right most line shows dominance Corn is still dominant, but less dominant in this county. 24
23 The Value of Corn & Soybean Base For Kossuth county, corn base is expected to have more value than soybean base as either option in corn (ARC or PLC) dominate both of the soybean options. For Lucas county, corn base is more valuable that soybean base, but is not as dominant as in Kossuth county. About 7% of the time, soybean base in ARC will outperform corn base in ARC. 25
24 Payment Yield Decision Update to 90% of average yield Do not update, keep current payment yield Update Payment Yields to 90% of average yield or Keep Current Payment Yields 26
25 Update Payment Yields to 90% of avg. yield or Keep Current Payment Yields Farm owners get one-time opportunity to update payment yields. Crop-by-crop decision: yields can be updated for one crop, but not the other. Payment yields will be 90% of average yield per planted acre. If farm yield in any of the years is less than 75% of the county yield, USDA will assign 75% of county yield for that year as a plug yield. 27
26 Using Plug Yields in Payment Yield Update If any year s yield ( ) is less than 75% of the simple yield average, then the substitute yield of 75% of the county average is used for that year in the calculation. If there are no yield records for a year the crop was planted, then substitute yield is used for that year. If there is a year with no planted acres for the crop, then that year is not used in the average Prevented planting acres are also not used in the average. 29
27 Update Payment Yields to 90% of avg. yield or Keep Current Payment Yields 30 Example #1: Payment Yield Using Plug Yield: Corn County Example Adjusted Yield Farm Yield Farm Yield Average Yield Plug (75% of Avg.) 128 Updated Payment Yield (90%) 152 Current Payment Yield 138 Easy decision here, but each farm and/or county may face a different situation.
28 Update Payment Yields to 90% of avg. yield or Keep Current Payment Yields Example #2: Payment Yield Using Plug Yield: Corn 31 County Example Adjusted Yield Farm Yield Farm Yield not planted not planted Average Yield Plug (75% of Avg.) 128 Updated Payment Yield (90%) 140 Current Payment Yield 138 Easy decision here, but each farm and/or county may face a different situation.
29 Certified Yield Evidence Self-certified yields are subject to spot-check and the owner will be responsible for providing the records to verify the accuracy of the yields. Acceptable records for a spot-check would include: RMA data, specific year yields used in APH records Production Evidence, sold or commercial storage On-Farm storage records FSA Loan Records ACRE program yields Keep your records in case of spot-check 32
30 Using Plug Yields in Payment Yield Update Notes: The plug yields really matter to the payment yield update some counties may have 2 production shortfalls in the 5 year period. If you had a low yield(s) in those years, your updated yield may not be as high as expected. Review your yield history for corn & soybeans. The next two slides are maps that show the plug yields (for the yield update decision only) 33

33 Farm Program Decision PLC ARC-CO (county) ARC-IC (individual) PLC = Price Loss Coverage ARC = Agriculture Risk Coverage 37
34 ARC/PLC Election Process Current Producers make the Election of PLC, ARC-CO or ARC-IC on each FSA Farm Number: a. Current producers with an interest in cropland on the farm will make the one-time irrevocable election. b. Failure to make an election by the deadline will result in PLC election starting in 2015 through 2018 and NO payments for
35 ARC/PLC Election Process Current Producer: Means the person or legal entity meeting the definition of producer on the day that person or legal entity is signing any form or performing any action required for the election process. 39
36 ARC/PLC Election Process Definition of a producer: A person or legal entity with a share in a crop on cropland on the farm and shares in the risk of producing the crop on the farm. NOTE: Cash Rent Owners do not have a share in the crop nor does the owner share in the risk of producing the crop 40
37 Farm Program Decision One-time, five year election decision, each program based on base acres PLC ARC (county) ARC (individual) Decision between Price Loss Coverage (price based) Agriculture Risk Coverage (revenue based) 41
38 Farm Program Decision PLC ARC (county) ARC (individual) Program Name: What is covered? Payment on what percentage of base acres? How is benchmark revenue/price guarantee determined? If there is a payment, what is the payment? 42 Price Loss Coverage Agriculture Risk Coverage (county) Agriculture Risk Coverage (individual/farm) Individual commodities Individual commodities All commodities combined Payments on 85% of base acres Reference Prices: Corn = $3.70 Soybeans = $8.40 Difference between actual price (larger of actual MYA price & the loan rate) and reference price X 85% PLC participants may buy Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO) starting in 2015 Payments on 85% of base acres 5-year Olympic average* of county yields multiplied by the 5-year Olympic average* of national prices Difference between actual county revenue and county ARC revenue guarantee (86% of benchmark) X 85% (limit:10% of benchmark) Payments on 65% of TOTAL base acres on farm 5-year Olympic average* of revenue sum (national price X farm yield) for all covered commodities Difference between actual revenue and individual ARC revenue guarantee (86% of benchmark) X 65% (limit:10% of benchmark) *Olympic average (drop high & low before averaging)
39 What is covered? Payment on what percentage of base acres? How is benchmark revenue/price guarantee determined? If there is a payment, what is the payment? Farm Program Decision Price Loss Coverage (PLC) Individual commodities Payments on 85% of base acres Reference Prices: Corn = $3.70 Soybeans = $8.40 Difference between actual price (larger of actual MYA price & loan rate) and reference price X 85% PLC participants may purchase Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO) starting in
40 Farm Program Decision Price Loss Coverage (PLC) What is covered? Individual commodities With PLC, corn and soybeans can be covered separately 44
41 Farm Program Decision Price Loss Coverage (PLC) Payment on what percentage of base acres? Payments on 85% of base acres For Farm Example #1: 100 A. Corn base &100 A. Soybean base: Payment would be on 85 A. corn and 85 A. soybeans; >Not based on planted acres< 45
42 Farm Program Decision Price Loss Coverage (PLC) How is price guarantee determined? Reference Prices: Corn = $3.70 Soybeans = $8.40 For PLC, payments are made only if Marketing Year Average (MYA) price is below reference price 46
43 Farm Program Decision Price Loss Coverage (PLC) If there is a payment, what is the payment? Difference between actual price (larger of actual MYA price & loan rate) and reference price X 85% Example: If MYA price for 2015 is $3.45, payment would be ($3.70 minus $3.45) X payment yield X 85% X base acres 47 *subject to payment limits
44 Farm Program Decision Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC-CO) What is covered? Payment on what percentage of base acres? How is benchmark revenue/price guarantee determined? If there is a payment, what is the payment? Individual commodities Payments on 85% of base acres 5-year Olympic average* of county yields multiplied by the 5-year Olympic average* of national prices Difference between actual county revenue and county ARC revenue guarantee (86% of benchmark) X 85% (limit:10% of benchmark) *Olympic average (drop high & low before averaging) 48
45 Farm Program Decision Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC-CO) What is covered? Individual commodities With ARC-CO, corn and soybeans can be covered separately. For example, a farm can have ARC-CO for soybeans and PLC for corn. 49
46 Farm Program Decision Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC-CO) Payment on what percentage of base acres? Payments on 85% of base acres For Farm Example #1: 100 A. Corn base & 100 A. Soybean base: Payment would be on 85 A. corn and 85 A. soybeans; >Not based on planted acres< 50
47 Farm Program Decision Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC-CO) How is benchmark revenue determined? 5-year Olympic average* of county yields multiplied by the 5-year Olympic average* of national prices *Olympic average (drop high & low before averaging) 51 County Yield Olympic Avg. Yield 171 MYA Corn 2009 $ $ $ $ $4.46 Olympic Avg. Price $ bpa X $5.29/bu. = $905 is benchmark. Payments are based on 86% of benchmark or $778/base acre.
48 Farm Program Decision Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC-CO) If there is a payment, what is the payment? Difference between actual county revenue and county ARC revenue guarantee (86% of benchmark) X 85% (limit:10% of benchmark) Payments are based on 86% of benchmark or $778/base acre. If Actual County Revenue (county yield X MYA Price) for a year is $728, example payment would be $50 per acre. Payment can not exceed 10% of benchmark or $90.50 in this example 52 *subject to payment limits
49 Farm Program Decision Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC-IC) What is covered? Payment on what percentage of base acres? How is benchmark revenue/price guarantee determined? If there is a payment, what is the payment? All commodities combined Payments on 65% of TOTAL base acres on farm 5-year Olympic average* of revenue sum (national price X farm yield) for all covered commodities Difference between actual revenue and individual ARC revenue guarantee (86% of benchmark) X 65% (limit:10% of benchmark) *Olympic average (drop high & low before averaging) 53
50 Farm Program Decision Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC-IC) What is covered? All commodities combined With ARC-IC, all covered commodities are combined. For example corn, soybeans, oats and all program crops which have established base acres are combined. 54
51 Payment on what percentage of base acres? Farm Program Decision Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC-IC) Payments on 65% of TOTAL base acres on farm For Farm Example #1 (100 A. Corn base, 100 A. Soybean base): Payment would be on 130 acres (65% of 200 A. total base). 55
52 How is benchmark revenue determined? Farm Program Decision Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC-IC) *Olympic average (drop high & low before averaging) 5-year Olympic average* of revenue sum (national price X farm yield) for all covered commodities 1. National Price X Farm Yield for each of 5 years 2. 70% of county T-yield can be used as plug. 3. The 5-year Olympic average of those revenues. 4. Allocation weighted by planted acres 56
53 If there is a payment, what is the payment? Farm Program Decision Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC-IC) Difference between actual revenue and individual ARC revenue guarantee (86% of farm benchmark) X 65% (limit:10% of benchmark) Payments are based on 86% of benchmark. If Actual Farm Revenue (farm yield X MYA Price) for a year is less than revenue guarantee, payment is made. Payment can not exceed 10% of farm benchmark. 57 *Subject to payment limitations
54 Farm Program Decision Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC-IC) Example 100 A. Corn base, 100 A. Soybean base MYA Farm MYA Farm Corn Yield Revenue Soybean Yield Revenue 2009 $ $611 $ $ $ $896 $ $ $ $1,089 $ $ $ $641 $ $ $ $812 $ $702 Olympic Average Revenue (Benchmark Revenue) $783 $569 ARC -IC Revenue Guarantee (86%) $673 $489 Gray figures indicate plugs used: Reference price and/or 70% of county yield. 58
55 Farm Program Decision Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC-IC) Example ARC-IC Revenue Guarantee (86%) Corn $673 Soybeans $489 If planted 60% corn, 40% soybeans: Farm Revenue benchmark (60% of $673)+(40% of $489)=$600 Actual revenue: Corn = $600, Soybeans = $500. (60% of $600)+(40% of $500)=$560 Benchmark less Actual = $40 X 200 total base acres = $8000. Paid at 65% = $5,200 or $26/acre Max would be 10% of Farm Revenue Benchmark of $600 or $60/acre. 59
56 Market viewpoint influences: Can you project the national average cash prices in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018? Marketing Year Average (MYA) prices are used Annually, this MYA price must be below the reference price to trigger a PLC payment $3.70/bu. Corn; $8.40/bu. Soybeans Price projections and information FAPRI, USDA, CBO, Futures-Based and others 61
57 Prices used in PLC and ARC Price Loss Coverage (PLC) Reference Prices SET UNTIL 2018 Corn $3.70/bu. Soybeans $8.40/bu ARC Price ARC 5 year Olympic Average Market Year Price (for 2014) Year Corn Soybeans 2009 $3.55 $3.70 $ $5.18 $ $6.22 $ $6.89 $ $4.46 $13.00 $5.29 $12.27 These can change every year! 62

65 Prices used in PLC and ARC Price Loss Coverage (PLC) Reference Prices SET UNTIL 2018 Corn $3.70/bu. Soybeans $8.40/bu ARC Price ARC 5 year Olympic Average Market Year Price Est. (for 2018) Year Corn Soybeans 2009 $3.70 $3.55 $ $5.18 $ $6.22 $ $6.89 $ $4.46 $ $3.50 $3.70 $ $3.70 $3.52 $ $3.67 $3.70 $ $3.82 $9.66 $3.74 $9.63 Corn ARC price close to reference price; Soybean ARC price never below reference price.
66 Key Points of ARC and PLC PLC and ARC-CO are commodity by commodity; ARC-IC based on all commodities on farm combined. Relationship of Olympic average price and PLC reference price over the 5 year time period are influential in program choice. If price is well below PLC reference price ($3.70 corn; $8.40 soybeans) during the farm bill period, PLC may be worth consideration; Higher prices? ARC may have an advantage. ARC-CO pays on 85% of base acres, ARC- IC pays on 65% of base acres. 71

Planting of covered commodities NOT required Planting of covered commodities NOT required Planting of covered commodities REQUIRED Program Election Comparison Elect by Covered Commodity Base Acres by farm May mix ARC-CO and PLC on same farm by base crop Elect by Covered Commodity Base Acres by farm May mix ARC-CO and PLC on same farm by base crop Elect on ALL Covered Commodities on the farm ARC-CO & PLC not eligible on farm 103
98 Agricultural Act of 2014 PLC ARC-CO ARC-IC When Do Payments Trigger? When the effective price of a base acreage commodity falls below reference price When the ACTUAL county revenue (per acre) of a base acreage commodity falls below the ARC-CO guarantee for that crop the county. When ACTUAL farm revenue from enrolled farms falls below the calculated ARC-IC guarantee for all enrolled farms in the state. 104
99 Payment Limitations Maximum dollar amount that can be received annually, directly or indirectly, under various programs by a person or legal entity. Such limitations on payments are controlled by direct attribution. 105

102 Payment Limitations Payment Limitations can impact program choice If payment limits are likely and you have multiple farm numbers: Consider splitting enrollment between ARC & PLC with higher yielding farms in PLC. 108
103 Program Summary Planting and harvesting fruits and vegetables (FAV) is subject to an acre for acre payment reduction when: (No longer a violation ) - More than 15% of base acres of the farm enrolled in ARC-CO or PLC are planted to FAV - More than 35% of base acres of a farm enrolled in ARC-IC are planted to FAV ARC/PLC Payments: 2014 payments are issued after October 1, 2015 for PLC/ARC- CO/ARC-IC if triggered payments are issued after MYA prices are determined and after October 1 of the subsequent year 109
104 Program Summary Current FSA-211, Power of Attorneys, are valid for the ARCPLC program if Section A and B are marked as follows: Section A, item 2, All current and ALL future programs Section B, item 1, All Actions Check with FSA Office on Power of Attorney forms. 110
105 Your Actions ARC/PLC Program Process: Update: Owners can Reallocate Base acres and/or update Counter-Cyclical Yields. Elect: Once Base Acres and Yields are set, then the Election of PLC, ARC-CO or ARC-IC can completed. Enroll: Once Election has been completed then Enrollment takes place. 111
