USDA · Risk Management Agency cause of loss

Crop-loss bands by county

The Risk Management Agency files, for every insured county and commodity in the United States, the premium paid, the indemnity paid, the liability insured, the quantity planted and lost, and the policies that filed a loss — by cause and by year. That file is history, and the agency publishes it free. What no source publishes is the county-crop’s own band: the range its annual loss ratio has actually run, read against the causes that produced it. That band is the join, and these pages are how a farm operator reaches their own county before a policy is signed rather than after a claim.

By state

Every state the agency has filed a qualifying county-crop in. Each state page carries its counties, its commodities and the causes of loss that paid there.

Every county band this desk publishes: crop-loss bands by county.

A county-crop reaches a page here only if it clears the desk’s floors: at least five filed years, and at least a quarter of a million dollars of filed premium, and a county needs more than one commodity clearing them. A band of two or three years is not a band, and a page about one number is not a page this desk publishes.

Figures from the federal source files: EPA’s ECHO downloads, CMS provider files and the FMCSA census.

County cause-of-loss figures from the USDA Risk Management Agency’s Cause of Loss Summary of Business, county files. A United States Government work, published free to anyone; what is built here is the county-crop re-projection the agency does not publish.
