And I've looked at my farm, and because of where we think the yields are going to be coming in for our county based on production we've been seeing coming in, most likely my county is going to be still ARC, right?

So because we're...

I had good crops.

Some guys in our county, unfortunately, got more rain and lost acres.

Our county yield's going to be down probably below that trigger, so it looks like we'll probably get a pretty good chance of a full payment on County Arc.

Now, you go west of me, a couple counties, they had lights-out yields.

they're going to benefit with PLC because they're going to see that price drop be the bigger safety net than having the yield and price that County Arc gives you.

Yeah.

So on the crop insurance side, I would definitely agree with that.

With the ARC, the ECO and the SCO type products, with these, it's kind of similar, but our safety net, our higher triggers are probably going to still lead more people that are probably electing County ARC for 2026 just because, you know,

Will we get a record yield?

I mean, the counties that are going to be triggering on PLC are probably the ones that are having lights out historic record yields.

That's where they're going to see the price only help them out.

Yeah, but if you think that we're going to see an average yield and I'm more worried about price drop, County Arc is probably going to be the one that's more often to protect us.

I wish, like you said, Corey, I wish we didn't have to choose when we got the better of because it's a decision that we don't like to have to make.

It's going to come down to, do you want to have a price floor?

Because PLC gives you a price floor.

And County ARC is going to have a max payment of X dollars.

It's going to be 12% of what your benchmark revenue is for your county.

where PLC is going to be, hey, we fall below this price on whatever my APH or my approved yield is at the FSA office.
