T15 EDIT FOR ADDED Practice/Type/Variety

If an APH crop database contains a yield type of ‘C’ for any annual yield field, then a simple average
T/yield is based on the average of all other units, for the crop, practice and type in the county. After the
T/yield has been determined, calculate the approved yield by adding all of the yields in the database
containing yield types other than ‘Z’. Divide the total by the number of years with data other than ‘Z’.
Field number 81, Number of Years with Actual Yields on Reference Records, would equal zero. Field
number 21, Yield Indicator would be ‘blank’ for this situation.
A Determined Irrigated Yield for an added Irrigated Practice also requires a yield type of ‘C’. In this
situation, there will be no edit to determine the value of each Annual Yield, however, the Annual Yields
will be summed and divided by the number of yields to determine the Approved Yield. Field number
81, Number of Years with Actual Yields on Reference Records, would equal zero. Field number 21,
Yield Indicator would have a ‘C’ for this situation.
T15 EDIT FOR ADDED LAND
If an APH crop database contains a yield type of ‘L’ for any annual yield field and a yield indicator of
‘A’, then an Added Land T/yield is based on the simple average of the existing optional units’ approved
APH yields within the basic unit structure of the crop in the county. After the T/yield has been
determined, calculate the approved yield by adding all of the yields in the database containing yield
types other than ‘Z’. Divide the total by the number of years with data other than ‘Z’.
If an APH crop database contains a yield type of ‘L’ for any annual yield field and a yield indicator of
‘AL’, then an Added Land T/yield for the crop is based on the simple average of the existing optional
units’ approved APH yields within the basic unit structure of the crop in the county. After the T/yield
has been determined, calculate the approved yield by adding all of the yields in the database containing
yield types other than ‘Z’. Divide the total by the number of years with data other than ‘Z’.
If an APH crop database contains a yield indicator of ‘B’ or ‘C’, then an Added Land T/yield is a
variable T/yield. After the T/yield has been determined, calculate the approved yield by adding all of
the yields in the database containing yield types other than ‘Z’. Divide the total by the number of years
with data other than ‘Z’.
If an APH crop database contains a yield indicator of ‘BL’ or ‘CL’, then an Added Land T/yield for
the crop is a variable T/yield. After the T/yield has been determined, calculate the approved yield by
adding all of the yields in the database containing yield types other than ‘Z’. Divide the total by the

crop does not have a T-yield on the ADM-Y record, it will be edited the same way as in 2003)
Edits:
1. Lower Level Yield Validation Threshold: (DAS Error 15072)
The record will be rejected if the approved or any annual yield exceeds the lower level yield validation
threshold. After review by an Insurance Provider underwriter, yield records with approved or annual yields
that exceed the lower level validation threshold but do not exceed the maximum acceptable level for the
state/county/crop/type/practice may be resubmitted to DAS with the Excessive Yield Edit Bypass flag set to
A1". In accordance with the SRA requirement that data submitted to DAS be accurate, resubmission of yield
records with the review indicator set is considered confirmation that an appropriate underwriting review has
occurred and confirmed that the yields are reasonable and accurate.
2. Maximum Acceptable Yield: (DAS Error 15073)
Insurance provider verified yield records with approved or annual yields exceeding the maximum acceptable
level will not be accepted by DAS, except as authorized by RMA. In such instances, verified yield records
with approved or annual yields in excess of the maximum acceptable level may be submitted to the RMA
Actuarial Division (AD). Include a copy of the underwriting review and supporting documentation, as well as
Insurance provider certification of the accuracy of the yield, in the submission for review. AD in conjunction
with the Product Development Division (PDD)will coordinate any yield reviews and with the applicable
RMA Regional Office (RO), as necessary. If the edit is determined to be too low, the limit for the
state/county/crop/type/practice may be increased and the Insurance Provider notified to resubmit the affected
yield records. Conversely, if a yield is determined to be unacceptable, assigned yield and related procedures
will apply.

Maximum Acceptable Yield: (DAS Error 15073)

For perennial crops, that do not have a published T-yield on the ADM-Y record, RMA has established
only a maximum acceptable yield level. Yield records with approved or annual yields exceeding the
maximum acceptable level for the crop will not be accepted unless it is determined by RMA that the
maximum acceptable level is not representative for the state. After the Insurance Provider verifies that
yields exceeding the maximum acceptable level are accurate, the Insurance Provider may submit the
yields through the PDD for review. PDD will coordinate any yield reviews with the applicable RO as
necessary. If the maximum acceptable level is determined to be too low, the limit for the state/crop may
be increased and the Insurance Provider notified to resubmit affected yield records. Conversely, if a yield
is determined to be unacceptable, assigned yield and related procedures will apply.
RMA, Actuarial Division, will maintain a maximum yield limit table providing the lower level validation
thresholds and maximum acceptable edit levels by Crop/State/County/Type/Practice (by Crop/State for
perennial crops without published T-yields). The maximum yield limit table will be provided to the
reinsured companies via the Reporting Organization (RO) Server on a weekly basis for DAS edits. The
lower level yield validation thresholds and maximum acceptable edit levels are for internal insurance
provider use and are not to be distributed for field usage. RMA may modify the maximum yield limit
table on a state/crop/county/type/practice basis based upon acceptable company documentation of yield
validity.
Yield edits and yield reporting are not applicable for the following insurance plans in the 15 Record, however,
ADM validations on maximum protection is performed in the company’s Acreage and Loss submissions

The Average APH Yield shown in Example 1 is the simple average of the 4 years of actual yields shown in the
column titled YIELD, i.e., it is identical to that calculated under the standard APH plan. The Average County
Yield is the average of the county yields for the same 4 years reported by the producer, i.e., (16 + 18 + 10 + 13) / 4.
The next step is to calculate the Yield Index. The Yield Index is equal to the County Expected Yield divided by the
Average County Yield. Given the County Expected Yield of 13.0 tons (obtained from the FCI-35), the Yield Index
for this unit is 0.91 (13.0 / 14.3).
The Approved (Indexed) Yield (per acre) is calculated as the Average APH yield multiplied by the Yield Index.
For unit A the Approved (Indexed) Yield is 17.0 x 0.91 = 15.5 tons per acre.

If yield substitution applies, the applicable yields are substituted, the simple average yield is calculated,
the yield index is calculated and the simple average yield is multiplied by the yield index which results in
the Indexed Approved APH Yield.
Example 2 – This example shows the calculation of a silage sorghum Approved (Indexed) Yield for unit B with
only 2 years of actual yields. Hence, 2 T-yields must be used to complete the 4-year yield database. The
production reported for unit B along with the county yields from the ADM are shown in the table below. For
illustrative purposes only, the variable T-yield (Yield Type = N) is assumed to equal 13.2 tons per acre.

The calculations in Example 2 are identical to those in Example 1 except for the computation of the Average
County Yield. Since unit B reported only 2 years of actual yields, the Average County Yield is based on the county
yields from the most recent 10 year period.
Following the steps illustrated in Example 1 and given the County Expected Yield of 13.0 tons and the Yield Index
for unit B of 0.94 (13.0 / 13.9), the Approved (Indexed) Yield (per acre) is 12.6 tons (13.4 x 0.94).

If yield substitution applies, the applicable yields are substituted, the simple average yield is calculated,
the yield index is calculated and the simple average yield is multiplied by the yield index which results in
the Indexed Approved APH Yield.
