University of Missouri releases tool to compare federal farm safety net payments
What happened
Researchers at the University of Missouri created a free online tool called the ARC/PLC Payments Explorer. This tool allows crop producers to compare potential payments from two federal farm safety net programs: Price Loss Coverage (PLC) and Agricultural Risk Coverage at the county level (ARC-CO). It shows how payments could change based on different commodity prices and yield scenarios.
Why it matters
The tool assists crop producers in making informed enrollment decisions regarding federal farm safety net programs. By comparing PLC and ARC-CO payments under various market conditions, producers can better manage revenue risk.
A multi-institutional initiative involving several universities in the Midwest has been launched to research crops designed for high-yield growth.
