Revenue
Assurance is similar to those for the standard
MPCI policy, however MPCI provides coverage for loss of
production , whereas RA provides coverage to protect against
loss of revenue.
RA has
the Fall Harvest Price Option available. This option uses
the greater of the fall harvest price (harvest time generated
price) or the projected harvest price (spring time generated
price) to determine the per acre revenue guarantee.
The
projected harvest price uses the same commodity exchange
as CRC by crop. Price volatility factors released by Sept
20. The RA policy without the FHPO (Fall Harvest Price Option)
works well for the insured who believes the Harvest price
will be depressed. In an upswing market, with the FHPO,
this policy works like a CRC policy but may be cheaper.
Preliminary
indemnity payments can only be made when FHPO is elected. |
