Abstract: The analysis was conducted on the USDA's Risk Management Agency insurance data and NRCS Land Resource Regions from 1994 -– 2001 to assist RMA in improving program integrity. The objective is to develop a data-mining algorithm that identifies anomalous producers and counties within LRRs based upon the percentage of acres harvested.
