Why 35% Might Exceed 75%

The final rules on SDRP pays on all crop insurance including the revenue portion

First, for those interested I was on AgriTalk yesterday discussing SDRP.

When the disaster program was originally announced back in December 2024, we originally thought payments would be based only on the yield loss component of your crop insurance indemnity payment.

We had provided various posts surmising how the payment would be calculated based on it being yield only.

However, the final calculations are based on your total crop insurance updated to the new SDRP payment factor. Even though the payment rate is 35% in many cases based on discussions we have had with farmers, your final payment will be more than if they had paid 75% on the yield portion only and the difference can be material.
