Beginning with the 2011 crop year, the Risk Management Agency (RMA) introduced a Common Crop Insurance Policy, known as the COMBO plan. The new guidelines combine previous yield and revenue plans into one standardized plan. The new COMBO plan covers the following crops: corn, grain sorghum, soybeans, malting barley, wheat, cotton, rice, canola, rapeseed, and sunflowers. APH coverage currently remains available for other crops not traded on the commodites market.

The University of Illinois has a podcast that you can listen to through Farmdoc that helps explain the COMBO plan. Click here to listen to the Farmdoc podcast.

The following displays the previous coverage plans and the new plans that will replace them.

Enterprise Units:

Enterprise Units Are available for both Yield Protection (YP) and Revenue Protection (RP/RPE) as long as RP is available for the crop in the county. If RP is not available in the county then EU is only available on YP if allowed by the Special Provisions.
