Subject: Finding county yields for ARC in farm bill


West of Lincoln a little bit

we're not in ACRE but I found this spreadsheet data on the FSA website, listed as ACRE program year county yields. Here's the info for one of our counties

Found on this page: http://www.fsa.usda.gov/FSA/webapp?area=home&subject=dccp&topic=landing

CornBushelsIrrigated185.8200.5184.3192.8198.3
CornBushelsNon-Irrigated137.5130.2130.5140.625.5










can I use those for my ARC calculations to determine if using county at 85% is better than my own averages at 65%? Our fields are irrigated, so for this calculation will I use just the irrigated numbers, or for ARC will they average the irrigated with the dryland?

For the olympic I would throw out the high and low and average the remaining 3, right? So that gives me 576.9 / 3 = 192.3 for the olympic avg on irrigated acres.

Are my assumptions correct or would I use an entirely different set of numbers? (I see this chart doesn't have 2013 data, will I need to use that instead of 2008?)

I hate waiting til the last minute for info and NAT tends to know more than the gov't offices at this point in the game.

thanks
