407.14—Group risk plan for peanuts.
The provisions of the Group Risk Plan for Peanuts for the 2000 and succeeding crop years are as follows:
1. Definitions
Harvest. Combining or threshing the peanuts.
NASS yield. The yield calculated by dividing the NASS estimate of peanut production in the county, by the NASS estimate of the acres of peanuts in the county, as specified in the actuarial documents. The actuarial documents will specify whether the harvested or planted acreage is used to calculate the yield used to establish the expected county yield and calculate indemnities.
Planted acreage. Land in which the peanut seed has been placed by a machine appropriate for the insured crop and planting method, at the correct depth, into a seedbed that has been properly prepared for the planting method and production practice.
2. Crop Insured
The insured crop will be all peanuts:
(a) Grown on insurable acreage in the county or counties listed in the accepted application;
(b) Properly planted and reported by the acreage reporting date;
(c) Planted with the intent to be harvested as peanuts; and
(d) Not interplanted with an established grass or legume or interplanted with another crop.
3. Payment
(a) A payment will be made only if the payment yield for the insured crop year is less than your trigger yield.
(b) Payment yields will be determined prior to June 16 following the crop year.
(c) We will issue any payment to you prior to the July 16 immediately following our determination of the payment yield.
(d) The payment is equal to the payment calculation factor multiplied by your policy protection for each insured crop practice and type specified in the actuarial documents.
(e) The payment will not be recalculated even though the NASS yield may be subsequently revised.
