407.17—Group risk plan for wheat.

The provisions of the Group Risk Plan for Wheat for the 2000 and succeeding crop years are as follows:
1. Definitions
Harvest. Combining or threshing the wheat for grain.
NASS yield. The yield calculated by dividing the NASS estimate of the wheat production in the county, by the NASS estimate of the acres of wheat 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 wheat seed has been planted 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. Land on which seed is initially spread onto the soil surface by any method and which subsequently is mechanically incorporated into the soil in a timely manner and at the proper depth, will also be considered planted.
2. Crop Insured
The insured crop will be all wheat:
(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 grain; and
(d) Not planted into an established grass or legume, interplanted with another crop, or planted as a nurse crop, unless seeded at the normal rate and intended for harvest as grain.
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 April 1 following the crop year.
(c) We will issue any payment to you prior to the May 1 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.
