What is the coverage level range available for APH?

The coverage level range available for Actual Production History (APH) insurance is 50%-85%. This range is designed to provide farmers with a safety net that protects them against yield loss due to various risks such as weather events, disease, and other factors impacting crop production.

A coverage level starting at 50% ensures that even at the lower end, farmers still have some level of protection to mitigate losses. Conversely, the upper limit of 85% allows higher-risk producers or those investing significantly in their operations to better safeguard their financial interests. This flexibility enables producers to select coverage that aligns with their risk tolerance and management strategies effectively.

The options outside this range either do not align with the established APH coverage levels or do not offer the same level of risk management flexibility that APH insurance is designed to provide. The APH framework is a crucial element of the crop insurance program, ensuring that producers can protect against significant economic impacts from crop failures.
