PART 407--GROUP RISK PLAN OF INSURANCE REGULATIONS FOR THE 2001 AND SUCCEEDING CROP YEARS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 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.
