Item Supplemental Coverage Option Now a Part of the Federal Crop Insurance Program(2015-01) Goeringer, Paul; Leathers, HowardThe 2014 Farm Bill created Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO), a new add-on crop insurance option which provides supplemental coverage on a producer’s underlying crop insurance policy. SCO operates by mimicking a producer’s individual crop insurance coverage and increasing the protection to 86 percent of the producer’s actual production history (APH) yield and price election. An SCO loss payment occurs when the actual current year county yield (or revenue) is less than 86% of expected county yield (or revenue) at the time of planting. SCO became available with the 2015 crop year in select Maryland counties for winter wheat, and all corn and soybean counties except Allegany and Garrett. USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA) will begin looking at expanding covered counties and crops covered, and begin distinguishing by practices (such as irrigated compared to non-irrigated).Item New Farm Bill Choices: Dec. 14(2014-12-16) Leathers, HowardThis presentation was delivered at the 2014 Policy and Outlook Conference and covers the new farm bill choices.Item Decisions Under 2014 Farm Bill - Central MD Example(2014-08) Leathers, HowardPresentation given in Central Maryland during the 2014 Farm Bill Workshops.Item Decisions Under 2014 Farm Bill - Southern MD Example(2014-08) Leathers, HowardThis is a presentation given in Southern Maryland during the August 2014 Farm Bill WorkshopsItem Farm Bill Examples for PLC, PLC with SCO, and ARC-CO(2014-09-11) Leathers, HowardCopy of a presentation given to the Northumberland County Crop Insurance agentsItem Decisions Under 2014 Farm Bill(2014-08-12) Leathers, Howard
