PLC Likely 95% of 2025 ARC/PLC Payment
We did additional analysis based on current national corn crop yields
We have done previous posts calculating the estimated 2025 ARC/PLC payments to be made next October. These estimates were based on final harvest yields being either equal to the benchmark yield or 103% of that yield.
However, we elected to go back and determine the national benchmark corn yield and then compare it to the current USDA estimated yield of 186.7 bushels per acre.
Here is a chart showing the national corn yields for 2019-2023 which are used to determine the benchmark yield:
