Loss and Payment Scenario (Estimated Only)
Assuming during the insurance year, a rainy and cold spring reduced the strawberry yield and quality and lowered the U-pick traffic. Also, blueberries realized lower prices and U-pick traffic due to competition of two other blueberry farms opening up near by. At the end of the insurance year, the farm realized a total allowable revenue of $42,000.
The farm has an AGR-Lite policy of 80% coverage and 90% payment rate with a premium payment of $1,232.
- Approved Adjusted Gross Revenue is $56,750
- Coverage Level 80% (or loss/payment trigger) = $56,750 * 80% = $45,400
- Actual Allowable Revenue = $42,000
- Difference between coverage level and revenue realized = $45,400 - $42,000 = $3,400
- Payment Rate 90%
- Insurance Payout = $3,400 * 90% = $3,060
- Insurance Benefit/Premium Cost Ratio = $3,060/$1,232 = $2.48
