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 Commodity | Unit | Yield Type | ACRE CTY Yld Plug 2008 | ACRE CTY Yld Plug 2009 | ACRE CTY Yld Plug 2010 | ACRE CTY Yld Plug 2011 | ACRE CTY Yld Plug 2012 | Corn | Bushels | Irrigated | 185.8 | 200.5 | 184.3 | 192.8 | 198.3 |
Corn | Bushels | Non-Irrigated | 137.5 | 130.2 | 130.5 | 140.6 | 25.5 |
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
