Yield Protection (YP) protects against a production loss for crops for which revenue protection is available but was not selected. YP also provides prevented planting and replant protection. Coverage is expressed as a production guarantee (approved yield times the coverage level). CAT coverage is available at 50% of the approved yield and 55% of the projected price (50/55). The YP yield guarantee is the approved yield multiplied by the selected level of coverage and the insured acreage. Coverage levels are available from 50% to 75%, in 5% increments (80% and 85% coverage levels are available in limited areas) of the approved yield up to 100% of the projected price, which is determined by the Commodity Exchange Price Provisions.
