2
3 Why is Crop Insurance Important for Risk Management? Creates a Foundation to build upon Makes a big impact on marketing throughout the year Changes your Risk/Profitability outlook Helps determine marketing tools to use
4 Changes in Federal Crop Insurance for 2018 Prevented Planting Buy Up lowered to 5% Can now pick different unit structure by practice Redefined Practical to Replant to up to 10 days after the final plant date
5 Changes in Federal Crop Insurance for 2018 Approved yield cannot decrease more than 10% from the prior years APH. Must be elected! (YC) Indemnities can offset premiums even before premiums are billed. Replant, Hail
6 Traditional Insurance Products Crop Insurance
7 Pre-Decision Information Needed! Acres to each crop and how many acres are flexible? Cost of Production for each crop. Estimate High! Cash sales made and average price. P/L on marketing already done for the crop year. Current Fall Basis and historical basis at harvest. Is it possible to grow a third crop?
8 Determine Risk Yield Risk: Yield Policy/Yield Private Products/ICE Harvest Max Price Risk: RP/RPowerD/RAMP/ICE Cash Price Risk: Whole Farm/PCI
9 Traditional Insurance Products Corn
10
11
12
13 Thoughts on Corn (High APH) You should be able to cover costs at the 75% TA or the 80% deductible. Hail Insurance for top dollar loss. Take advantage of the low premiums to try and reduce risk or lock in more profits. Private Products, Hedging. Consider Basic or Optional Units Buy Up Replant Option in fringe states Downside Price Risk - Whole Farm
14
15
16
17 Thoughts on Corn (Low APH) Consider the 80% or 85% policy. 75% TA if others are too high Hail Insurance for top dollar loss. Look at private products either with 10% bands of coverage Alternative Spring Price opportunity over the summer months. (cheap call) Buy Up Replant in fringe states. Downside Price Risk Whole Farm
18 Traditional Insurance Products Soybeans
19
20
21
22 Thoughts on Soybeans (High APH) MPCI cannot cover input costs. Stick with the 85% TA which provide limited risk Manage with future or options If you go 80% or want to cover all your input costs consider a higher band of coverage Maybe capture some of this recent rally in soybean prices to get a higher Spring Price. Downside Price Risk Whole Farm
23
24
25
26 Thoughts on Soybeans (Low APH) MPCI alone has a big cap trying to cover input costs The risk profile is high for a producer that does not get big yields. Significant downside Price Risk Consider going with 80% or 85%. Usually the 80% TA have better coverage than the 85% and it is cheaper By Up Replant in fringe states Consider a higher band of coverage. Consider Harvest Max Maybe capture some of this recent rally in soybean prices to get a higher Spring Price. Downside Price Risk/Bushel Risk Whole Farm
27 Traditional Insurance Products Wheat
28
29
30 Thoughts on Wheat Cannot cover input costs Best ROI is likely 80% TA Tons of risk that needs to be addressed Consider 85% Yield Protection. Decent Spring Price Look at Price Flex, Yield or Revenue RAMP/ICE
31 W hole Far m Revenue
32 Whole Farm Revenue Protection against loss of Gross revenue that a producer expects to earn.
33 Whole Farm Revenue Worried about significantly lower cash sales opportunities throughout the year (NAFTA) Have crops generally subjected to dockage. Tend to store unpriced bushels into the following calendar year to attempt to catch a carry in the market.
34 Whole Farm Revenue Utilize to protect cash prices which we have not been able to insure before. Protects against loss or revenue expected to earn, including animals and animal product. Has one of the longest insurance periods of any insurance product. Enable producers to grow new crops or crops with low APH yields.
35 Whole Farm Revenue Affordable option in areas where 80% and 85% MPCI is to expensive. Can be a way to reduce your insurance bill and still satisfy your lender. Can be considered a hedge against bad cash marketing.
36 Whole Farm Revenue Whole Farm Subsidy Rates Coverage Level 50% 55% 60% 65% 70% 75% 80% 85% Commodity Count: 1 Commodity Count: 2 Commodity Count: 3+ 67% 64% 64% 59% 59% 55% N/A N/A 80% 80% 80% 80% 80% 80% N/A N/A 80% 80% 80% 80% 80% 80% 71% 56%

42 Whole Farm Revenue + Crop Insurance Buying MPCI gives an additional subsidy to WFRP. Allows for Individual crop coverage if that is a major concern. Utilize MPCI to capitalize on a much higher harvest price. MPCI pays in the fall. WFRP pays the following April.
43 Huge Change for 2018 Whole Farm Revenue In 2017 any indemnity you made Hail and Private Product counted toward the Whole Farm Revenue Guarantee. In 2018 only the portion of the indemnity that is over the deductible is counted towards the Whole Farm Revenue Guarantee.
44
45 Huge Change for 2018 Whole Farm Revenue Brings High Insurance Cost States into Play i.e. Nebraska tends to buy a lot of hail insurance Whole Farm + MPCI + Hail + Buy Up Replant
