    In today’s post we will try to estimate the 2025 rice ARC or PLC for a farmer in Crittenden County, Arkansas. For ARC, the current price is $15.07 per cwt and the county benchmark revenue based on county yield of 7,386.9 pounds per acre is $1,113.21. The ARC guarantee under current rules is 86% of this number or $957.36. USDA currently estimates the price for this rice at $12.00 per cwt. Therefore, final harvested revenue assuming same yield would be about $886.43.

    In yesterday’s post, we provided our calculations on 2025 corn ARC and PLC payments. Today, we do the same for soybeans. USDA currently estimates the 2025/26 soybean MYA price at $10.25.

    After yesterday’s post on estimated 2025 wheat ARC and PLC payments, we thought a calculation of estimated 2025 corn ARC / PLC payments might be in order. We updated the numbers to reflect the current estimates for corn effective reference prices and ARC benchmark prices and here are the results:
