University of Illinois creates online ARC/PLC calculator
A new web-based calculating program will help farmers decide between the Agriculture Risk Coverage program (ARC) and the Price Loss Coverage program (PLC) under the 2018 Farm Bill.
The University of Illinois launched the program that will calculate payments from ARC-CO and PLC based on county and modeling for each crop year from 2019 through 2023.
Ag policy professor Jonathan Coppess tells Brownfield once users create a secure account, they can run countless estimates.
“You get a thousand simulations of these program payments to give you a rough concept of where those payments are likely to be and what the percentages or odds of getting a payment in that range looks like.”
The payment calculator was a joint effort by the Gardner Ag Policy Program, farmdoc project and National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois.
Farmers have until March 15th to sign up for either program.

Bradley, once you have registered it will send a verification email to the email address that you registered with. If you do not see it in your inbox, you might try checking your spam/junk folders. If you are still having problems, click the “Need Help?” tab in the top right corner of the page

Everytime I try to verify my email for the Illinois program it says there’s an error. I get the email and I click the link but it fails every time. I’ve been trying for weeks. Any ideas?
