Estimated PLC Payments

The first Title I Farm Bill program payments that include the One Big Beautiful Bill Act enhancements will be received by farmers starting in October 2026.  These payments are the one-time opportunity farmers have to receive the higher of the calculated Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs, before going back to annual program elections, starting with this year’s harvested crop.  

The map below shows the PLC payment per acre for a farm that has a program yield equal to the county average program yield released by Farm Service Agency.  Caution should be exercised by the user, as these are average PLC payments per acre and the farm’s own PLC payments may differ significantly depending on their own farm’s program yield. To calucate the individual farm's PLC payment, take the PLC payment rate multiplied by the farm's PLC Yield.

Note that payments are on a per acre basis and will be made on 85% of a farm’s base acres in that commodity.  To get detailed information on your county, hover your cursor over it.  Use the dropdown menu on the right to select different crops.
