1CRC base price is the December 15-January 14 average closing price of the appropriate futures contract for sales closing before March 15.  RA has no contracts for a 1/31 sales closing date.  For February 28 sales closing RA uses the first 10 trading days in February to set the base price and uses the same harvest price as the March 15 sales closing RA contract.
2The grain sorghum price election is set based on the USDA estimated corn-grain sorghum price ratio.  Before 2004 the grain sorghum price was set at 95% of the corn price.
