Federal Crop Insurance Summary of Business for Yield Exclusion
 

The APH Yield Exclusion (APH-YE) is a provision of the 2014 Farm Bill. The provision allows farmers to exclude 

eligible yields which occur from exceptionally bad years (such as a year in which a natural disaster or other extreme 

weather occurs) from their production history when calculating yields used to establish their crop insurance 

coverage. The APH-YE option and eligible crop years for exclusion are identified in the actuarial documents. 

This report provides a summary of policy totals wherein producers have selected APH-YE and are eligible for 

APH-YE beginning with the 2015 crop year. Policy totals that had APH-YE available as a choice as filed in the 

actuarial documents is provided for comparison. This report includes the following: 

Yield Exclusion by Commodity – provides the overall summary by commodity for policies selecting the 

APH-YE option and includes the total policies insured where APH-YE is available in the actuarial documents. 

Yield Exclusion by State – provides the overall summary by state for policies selecting the APH-YE option 

and includes the total policies insured where APH-YE is available in the actuarial documents. 

Yield Exclusion by Insurance Plan– provides the overall summary by insurance plan for policies selecting 

the APH-YE option and includes the total policies insured where APH-YE is available in the actuarial

documents. 

Descriptions of terminology common throughout this report are as follows: 

APH-YE eligible – when a crop year is determined to be APH-YE eligible for a crop in a county, producers in 

contiguous counties will also be eligible to exclude their actual yield for that crop year under APH-YE. The 

APH-YE option is listed in the county actuarial documents showing the crop and eligible crop year(s) available 

for exclusion. 

Policies with Yield Exclusion – is a subset of the total population of those policies that actually chose the 

APH-YE option in the states and counties where APH-YE is available. 

Total Policies Insured – is the full population of policies insured in the states and counties where APH-YE is 

available in the actuarial documents.
