A Webinar on 2025 ARC/PLC Payment Calculations
We provide a webinar on how we arrived at the 2025 ARC/PLC projected payments
We have done previous posts on our estimate of the projected 2025 ARC/PLC payments.
OBBBA updated these payments as follows:
Increased the reference prices for all crops at least 10% and up to 21% and the average increase was about 15%.
Increased the “floor” percentage for the effective reference price calculation from 85% of the Olympic Average price to 88%.
Increased the payment limit from $125,000 to $155,000 and indexes it to inflation starting in 2026.
Automatically pay the higher of ARC or PLC for the 2025 crop but only for the 2025.
Starting with the 2026 crop, a national increase to base acres of 30 million acres or an average increase for most farmers of about 12% to their payments starting with that crop year.
The webinar reviews those key details and then digs into the numbers, and it can be accessed here:
