A county or crop not listed: FSA’s files have nothing for it. Ask the county FSA office for “the 2026 ARC-CO benchmark yield for my county, crop and practice (irrigated or non-irrigated)”, or look it up in FSA’s program data (file: ARC-CO benchmark yields and revenues, program year 2026). Then type it into the calculator.

PLC vs ARC-CO break-even at the benchmark yield

When the county yield comes in at its benchmark, which program pays more depends on the season-average price and on your PLC yield as a share of the county’s official benchmark. Expressed that way, the break-even is the same in every Indiana county. 2026 prices, corn:

PLC yield, % of your official benchmark	Which pays more, by season-average price
60%	PLC: $3.41 or lower ARC-CO: $3.42 to $4.52
70%	PLC: $3.55 or lower ARC-CO: $3.56 to $4.52
80%	PLC: $3.66 or lower ARC-CO: $3.67 to $4.52
90%	PLC: $3.74 or lower ARC-CO: $3.75 to $4.52
100%	PLC: $3.81 or lower ARC-CO: $3.82 to $4.52

Soybeans:

PLC yield, % of your official benchmark	Which pays more, by season-average price
60%	PLC: $8.27 or lower ARC-CO: $8.28 to $10.95
70%	PLC: $8.62 or lower ARC-CO: $8.63 to $10.95
80%	PLC: $8.88 or lower ARC-CO: $8.89 to $10.95
90%	PLC: $9.08 or lower ARC-CO: $9.09 to $10.95
100%	PLC: $9.24 or lower ARC-CO: $9.25 to $10.95

Wheat:

PLC yield, % of your official benchmark	Which pays more, by season-average price
60%	PLC: $4.95 or lower ARC-CO: $4.96 to $6.17
70%	PLC: $5.15 or lower ARC-CO: $5.16 to $6.12
80%	PLC: $5.30 or lower ARC-CO: $5.31 to $6.00
90%	PLC: $5.41 or lower ARC-CO: $5.42 to $5.66
100%	PLC: $6.34 or lower ARC-CO: never

Per base acre, both programs on 85% of base. Your PLC yield is on the FSA-156EZ. A county yield below benchmark favors ARC-CO.
