Specific rules on contract pricing (such as what is a valid contract, who is a valid buyer, and how to use multiple contracts), may vary depending on where the contract price authority is located within your policy. This Fact Sheet identifies where to find the contract price authority for your crop.

Contract price authority is found in the Special Provisions, Crop Provisions, or the CPA. The following lists identify crops eligible to use a contract price in order of contract price authority.

In some cases, contract price authority may not be available for all types, practices, plans, or counties. You can check contract price availability for your crops by following the prompts on the Risk Management Agency’s (RMA) Actuarial Information Browser and select the “Prices” tab. When a contract price code of “yes” exists on the Prices tab for the crop, type, and practice, you may use a contract price to determine your insurance guarantee.

The following types have contract price authority in the Crop Provisions or Special Provisions and other types or practices for these crops have contract price authority in the CPA.
