When a catastrophic production year is included in a producer’s Actual Production History (APH), it can lower the overall average yield used for insurance coverage. The Yield Exclusion (YE) option allows eligible crop year yields to be excluded from the APH database.
Eligibility is determined by the Risk Management Agency (RMA) based on whether the county’s average yield for a crop year falls below 50% of the 10-year county average, as outlined in the actuarial documents. Separate determinations are made for irrigated and non-irrigated acreage when data is available.
To use this option, the insured must elect YE on the application or Policy Change form by the applicable deadline.
