AgriLogic was awarded a contract by the USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA) to conduct a program evaluation of the Coverage Enhancement Option (CEO) pilot insurance program. The evaluation was used to determine if the program should be continued as a pilot program, modified from its current structure, discontinued, or converted to a permanent program. The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation’s (FCIC) Board of Directors initially approved the CEO pilot program for all counties with actuarial documents filed for Apples and Grapes in Pennsylvania and Washington; Canola in North Dakota; Citrus Trees in Texas; Cranberries in Massachusetts; Potatoes in Idaho, Maine, and Pennsylvania; Rice in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi; and Stone fruit and Walnuts in California for the 2000 through 2002 crop years. The FCIC Board of Directors also expanded the program in 2001 to include all counties with actuarial documents filed for Citrus Fruit in Florida and Texas for the 2001 through 2003 crop years. The FCIC Board subsequently authorized extension of the pilot through the 2004 crop year for all crops being piloted.
