An Example for States with March 15 Sales Closing.
The Harvest price will be multiplied times the grower’s corn yield in 2002.
A grower with a 140 bu. APH X 70% coverage X $2.32 base price would
have had revenue guarantee of  $227.36.  If this grower produced 40 bushels
then based on today’s price  $2.52  estimate of the revenue 
to count would be    $100.80  and the indemnity payment would be the
difference between the revenue to count and the revenue guarantee for gross
indemnity payment of $146.16  (before premium deduction).
