Abstract: County-based group crop insurance is not effective to growers in counties with heterogenous production practice. A model-based cluster and classification method is developed to facilitate the information needed in the study of sub-county-zone-based crop insurance. Wheat yield data from Whitman, WA is applied in the empirical analysis.
