Advanced ARC / PLC / SCO Tradeoff Tool
This spreadsheet has been updated to reflect changes made under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). The spreadsheet can be used to estimate potential 2025 ARC and PLC payouts under these changes. Producers will receive the highest of ARC or PLC for 2025, but not for subsequent crop years. Use of the SCO function on the spreadsheet is optional. For Mac users, contact Jenny Ifft (jifft@ksu.edu) for a web link. |

Kansas Yield Correlation Tool

Producers will need to have yield records to use the tool. |
