the State Farm Service Agency offices in each State the op-
portunity to provide agricultural producers in the State a 
supplemental payment described in subsection (c) based on 
the alternate calculation method described in subsection (b) 
for 1 or more counties in a State if the office for that State 
determines that the alternate calculation method is nec-
essary to ensure that, to the maximum extent practicable,

ty (as determined under standards of the Secretary in 
effect as of the date of enactment of this Act) or the

parate result, the calculation of the county yield is de-
termined using comparable contiguous county NASS 
data as determined by the Farm Service Agency office 
in the applicable State; and 
(3) if there is insufficient NASS data for a com-
parable contiguous county (as determined under 
standards of the Secretary in effect as of the date of 
enactment of this Act), the calculation of the county 
yield is determined using reliable yield data from 
other sources, such as Risk Management Agency data, 
National Agricultural Statistics Service district data, 
National Agricultural Statistics Service State yield 
data, or other data as determined by the Farm Serv-
ice Agency office in the applicable State. 
(c)(1) A supplemental payment made under the pilot 
program established under this section may be made to an 
agricultural producer who is subject to the alternate cal-
culation method described in subsection (b) if that agricul-
106 
tural producer would otherwise receive a county-level agri-
culture risk coverage payment for the 2017 crop year in 
an amount that is less than the payment that the agricul-
tural producer would receive under the alternate calculation 
method. 
(2) The amount of a supplemental payment to an agri-
cultural producer under this section may not exceed the dif-
ference between— 
(A) the payment that the agricultural producer 
would have received without the alternate calculation 
method described in subsection (b); and 
(B) the payment that the agricultural producer 
would receive using the alternate calculation method. 
(d)(1) There is appropriated to the Secretary, out of

the amount provided under subsection (d).
107 
(2) To the extent that the cost of the pilot program 
exceeds the amount made available, the Secretary shall re-
duce all payments under the pilot program on a pro rata 
basis.

tual yield for purposes of county-level agriculture risk cov-

Act of 2014 (7 U.S.C. 9017(b)(1)) other than payments 
made in accordance with the pilot program under this sec-
tion. 
(g) A calculation of actual yield made using the alter-
nate calculation method described in subsection (b) shall not 
be used as a basis for any agriculture risk coverage payment
