1 In years when prices fall, it requires a smaller yield loss to trigger revenue insurance claims but in years with higher prices it will require an insurable yield loss to trigger a claim.  The CRC coverage for an example wheat grower with a 50 bushel APH times 70% coverage times planting price of $3.52 equals $123.20 of coverage.  Because of higher prices and based on today's higher harvest price this same Wheat grower coverage will increase to 50 bushel APH times 70% coverage times current market price of $4.81 equals $168.32.
                 
2 RA uses the July 1-14 closing July wheat prices to settle claims.      
                 
An Example Kansas Wheat Claim.  A Kansas Wheat grower with a 50 bushels APH times 70% coverage times higher of harvest price of $4.81 or plant price of $3.52 would have a revenue guarantee of $168.32.  If this grower produced 15 bushels, then based on today's price of $4.81 the revenue to count would be $72.15 and the indemnity payment would be the difference between the revenue to count and the revenue guarantee for gross indemnity payment of $96.17 (before premium deduction).
