Free, no signup, no email wall. Built on RMA's published county data so the figures line up with what your policy actually references.
Pick a crop year, county and crop; it fills in the expected county yield, projected price and — for MCO — RMA's published operating cost. Model a yield and harvest price, toggle products on and off, and see per-acre indemnity for each one with the full arithmetic shown.
Covers corn and soybeans in Iowa, Minnesota and Missouri, with 2025, 2026 and 2027 rules applied automatically by crop year. Sensitivity grids show the whole yield-by-price range rather than a single outcome.
Open the estimatorNot a calculator, but the thing to read before you use one. A plain read of what RMA changed for the 2027 crop year: the SCO trigger, the ARC restriction, and the narrowed ECO and MCO bands.
It also lays out the dates — including the MCO sales closing that lands months before your spring election, which is the one most growers miss.
Read the guideA word on what these are. They are planning tools, not quotes. They use RMA's published county figures, which is the right basis for comparing products — but your actual indemnity depends on your APH, your share, your practice and the final county yield RMA publishes after the marketing year closes. Use them to narrow the decision, then let's confirm the specifics.
