Coverage Options Overview
The Agricultural Act of 2014 authorizes FSA
to offer NAP catastrophic coverage for a
service fee and additional levels of NAP
coverage that require payment of a premium
in addition to the NAP service fee
27
Coverage Options Overview
(Continued)
NAP coverage will be available on eligible crops
at the CAT (basic) level of 50/55, or in 5 percent
increments from 50 up to 65 percent of the
producers approved yield at 100 percent of the
average market price as established by FSA
NOTE: Crops intended to be grazed are not
eligible for coverage levels above the Basic CAT
Level (50/55)

33
Producer
A producer is an owner, operator, landlord,
tenant, or sharecropper, who both:
• shares in the risk of producing a crop and
• is entitled to share in the crop available for
marketing from the unit, or would have
shared had the crop been produced
34
Producer (Continued)
Landowners, landlords, tenants, contract
growers, or anyone else not having both a
share of the risk and a valid share of a crop
are ineligible for NAP
35
Producer (Continued)
To determine producer eligibility, one of the
following must be obtained:
• copies of:
– signed written leases with landowner or
landlord
– signed rental agreements with landowner or
landlord
– other legal documents showing land
ownership or control
Or...
36
Producer (Continued)

Overview
The approved yield process is used as a
uniform method to calculate approved yields
for all producers.
• NAP approved yield establishment:
– Provides flexibility
– Provides a sound basis for expected production
– Safeguards the integrity of NAP
41
Overview (Continued)
Approved yields:
• are calculated by a producer’s unit
• for producers who:
–do not have records, limited to 65% of T-yield
–are able to provide acceptable records for 1-3
years, use a combination of actual and T-yield
–are new producers, may have an approved
yield based on unadjusted T-yield
42
Overview (Continued)
Producers who report NAP crop acreage are
responsible for reporting production for all
crops selected on CCC-471
Approved yields do not apply to:
• grazed forage
• value loss crops
• controlled environment crops
43
Yield Type Indicators
A producer’s production history is the basis
for calculating an approved yield
Different rules apply to different types of
historical production
Yield Type Indicators are an easy way to
indicate the type(s) of historical production a
producer has in his or her crop database
44
Approved Yields (Continued)
Base period:
• Minimum of 4 consecutive APH crop years
• Maximum of 10 APH crop years
– Except apples and peaches - 5 years max
• Does not include any year the crop was:
– Not planted
– Prevented from being planted
– Not reported as planted
45
Approved Yields (Continued)
The approved yield established for the
producer will be:
• equal to the simple average of the yields
included in the APH database
• based on APH years of production records
Reminder: The producer must maintain
production records for 3
crop years
46
Approved Yields (Continued)
If the producer
has records for:
The approved yield is the simple average of:
4-10 years
Those years
3 years
The 3 years + 100% of T-yield for missing year
2 years
The 2 years + 90% of T-yield for missing years
1 year
The 1 year + 80% of T-yield for missing years
No years
65% of the T-yield for 4 years
An assigned, zero credited, or substitute yield will not be considered
derived from producer-certified production records for the purpose
of attaining a higher percentage of T-yield
47
No Production Records –
No Prior Approved Yield
65%
The Approved Yield is calculated using ____
of the T-Yield for the 4 most recent crop
years for producers who:
• are not New Producers
• have not had an approved yield previously
established
• have no records of production
48
New Producer
Definition:
• A producer who has not been engaged in
farming for a share of the production of the
crop for more than 2 crop years in the county
– Specific rules are applicable with formation or
dissolution of entities
Yield Type “I”
49
New Producer (Continued)
The approved yield will be calculated based
on:
• 100% of the T-yield for years during which the
crop was not produced
• the actual yield for the 1 or 2 years for which
there is a record of production
50
Buy-up Options

Comparison to Basic CAT Level
• Calculated NAP Payment at elected 65/100
Buy-up is $26,833
• Compare this calculate payment to the
same scenario with Basic CAT level
– Disaster Level= 1,000 cwt
– NAP payment at 50/55= $8,433
• Buy-up results in significantly higher
calculated payment ($26,833 vs $8,433)
