Abstract: The first step in developing a crop risk management program for a farm is to establish the proven yield and unit structure. The Actual Production History (APH) is used to set the guarantees under all of the FCIC-backed insurance plans except the Group Risk Plan (GRP). True risk protection must be based on the farm's own production potential. Providing historical yield records is the most realistic method of estimating it.
