An Example for a South Texas Cotton Grower
The Harvest Price will be multiplied times the grower’s cotton yield in 2003.
A grower with a 800 pound APH X 70% coverage X $0.59 base price would
have had revenue guarantee of  $330.40.  If this grower produced 150 pounds
then based on today’s price  $0.59  estimate of the revenue 
to count would be    $88.50  and the indemnity payment would be the
difference between the revenue to count and the revenue guarantee for gross
indemnity payment of $241.90  (before premium deduction).
