  • Crop Insurance Basics: Actual Production History

    Crop Insurance Basics: Actual Production History

    One of crop insurance’s defining attributes is its self-correcting nature. Collecting and analyzing a producer’s Actual Production History (APH), which takes into account a grower’s actual yields over a period of time, also compares performance to other farms within the county and surrounding communities. A higher APH may mean paying lower premiums. March 26, 2021
