What is the T-yield percentage for native sod for the first four years?

The T-yield percentage for native sod during the first four years is set at 65%. This percentage is established by the Risk Management Agency (RMA) for crops grown on newly broken land from native sod. The rationale for this specific percentage is to reflect the expected yields of crops grown on such land during the initial years of production, acknowledging that newly converted native sod areas may have lower fertility or different conditions compared to established farmland.

This percentage is important for determining the coverage levels and insurance options available to producers, ensuring that they receive appropriate support during the early years of crop production on native sod. Understanding the T-yield percentage helps in making informed decisions regarding crop insurance, thereby impacting financial planning and risk management for farmers in Nebraska.
