USD. A. crop insurance
agency, said.
Yield guarantee is the
amount of production the crop
insurance agency will guar
antee the insured farmers.
On mast crops, the farmer
has the choice of buying an
insurance policy that guaran
tees 75 percent. 65 percent or
50 percent of the yield for the
area. The farmer also may
choose to participate In the
agency's individual yield
coverage proRram which
customizes the policy based on
the farmer's own production
history.
If an insured farmer parti
cipates in the U.S.D.A.'s
acreage reduction program at
the minimum SO percent, the
U.S. P. A. crop insurance
agency will automatically
increase the yield guarantee
hv six percent.
If the farmer puts 30 percent
of the acreage into an acreage
reduction program, plus 10
percent into P.I.K., he or she
will get an eight percentn
crease in yield guarantee. If
the farmer places 20 percent
of the coverage into P.I. K.. the
vield guarantee increases by
10 percent.
"We see the Increases in
guarantee as a mean for
increasing participation and
keeping currently insured
wheat farmers in the pro
gram." said Sprague.
