Crop Revenue Coverage (CRC)
provides revenue protection against a decline in market prices as well as a shortfall in production. Under CRC, the guarantee is in dollars. A loss situation arises when the dollar value of your production falls below the final dollar guarantee. CRC provides protection whether prices are rising or falling:

• In a year of rising prices, production shortfalls are compensated at the higher market-based harvest price. This is important if any lost production must be replaced at higher market prices to fulfill delivery on a forward contract;

• In years of falling prices, your minimum guarantee ensures that you will receive a pre-determined amount of income per acre, regardless of yields or prices.

Causes of Loss
CRC provides protection against unavoidable loss of revenue due to the following causes in the insurance period:

Adverse weather conditions1
Failure of irrigation water supply2
Fire
Harvest price less than base price
Insects3
Plant disease3
Wildlife

1Natural perils such as hail, frost, freeze, wind, drought, and excess moisture. 2If caused by an insured peril. 3But not damage due to insufficient or improper application of recommended control measures.

Important Dates
Note: Sales closing, final planting and acreage reporting dates vary by county. Consult a crop insurance professional for specific dates in your county.

Minimum Guarantee
The guaranteed minimum dollar protection is the average yield X base price X coverage level percent:
Example:
800 pounds per acre X $.60 X 75
percent = $360 per acre minimum guarantee

Harvest Guarantee
Average yield X harvest price X coverage level percent:
Example:
800 pounds per acre produced X
$.50 X 75 percent = $300 per acre harvest guarantee

Calculated Revenue
Value of your actual production determined by pounds produced X harvest price:
Example:
200 pounds per acre produced X
$.50 = $100 per acre calculated revenue

Loss Example
This example assumes average yield of 800 pounds per acre, base price of $.60, harvest price of $.50, 200 pounds per acre production-to-count, and 65-percent coverage level.
