Payment vs. MYA price
ARC-CO at your county yield; PLC at the PLC yield.

County yields, 2009–2026
FSA actual county yields (line), the 2026 county yield you entered (◆) and the 2026 benchmark yield (dashed line). Shaded: 2020–2024, the years behind the benchmark.
* FSA-reported actual county yield or, where not reported, calculated from FSA detrended yield data.
Our Projections
We simulate many possible outcomes for the 2026 county yield and the national MYA price and compute ARC-CO and PLC payments in each one. The figures above are the average payment across those outcomes and the share of outcomes in which each program pays. They do not change with your inputs, and they differ from the payment at the average yield and price because they include the uncertainty in markets and yields.
