@HawkeyeRy NASS data confirmed suspicions of lower yields here in SW Iowa, would be max ECO payment IF NASS=RMA, but I found the historical deviations pretty interesting. Outlier years of flood/drought, but even if it's 10 bushels that's a $40 difference in realized ECO pmt if RMA "misses"
Latest data I have indicates 61% of all Non-Irrigated Corn counties will have an ECO payment. Average payment will be about $31/acre, but lots of max payments.
50% of NI SBs ($18)
56% of NI Wheat acres ($15)
@New10_AgEcon@SenateAgGOP I am also curious, for example why are some Illinois counties vastly outperforming IA/MO neighbors just across the river? Interesting map though.
