Crop insurance is a tool that helps farmers manage the risks linked to lower yields or revenue in agriculture. The prices used in determining crop insurance indemnities are established in the projected and/or harvest price discovery periods each year. The projected price is determined for each crop by taking an average of the daily closing futures prices across a 30-day window in early spring, when crop planting would normally occur, for a given crop’s harvest month contract. Similarly, the harvest price is determined for each crop by taking an average of the daily closing futures prices across a 30-day window in the fall, when harvest would normally occur for a given crop’s harvest month contract.
