Harvest & projected price tracker
These are the prices that set your revenue guarantee. The projected price is locked each February; the harvest price is built day by day each October. When the harvest price climbs above your projected floor, your Revenue Protection guarantee climbs with it. Here's where it stands — updated daily during each discovery window.
The discovery calendar
Corn & soybeans: projected price set in February, harvest price set in October (December corn / November soybean contracts). Other crops and regions discover in different windows — added as they're configured.
What this means for you
If you carry Revenue Protection, watch the October harvest price against your February projected price. Above it, your guarantee escalates — good news whether you're selling or holding. Below it, the price side of your policy is doing its job. Want to see how many bushels your guarantee lets you forward-price?

Common questions
How is the projected price set?
It's the average daily settlement of the December corn (or November soybean) futures contract across every trading day in February, rounded to the nearest cent. That number, times your coverage level, times your APH yield, is your per-acre revenue guarantee for the year.
How is the harvest price set?
The same contract, averaged across every trading day in October. Revenue Protection uses the higher of the projected or harvest price, so an October rally raises your guarantee; a decline does not lower it.
Why do other crops show different months?
Each crop — and sometimes each region within a crop — has its own contract and discovery window under RMA's Commodity Exchange Price Provisions. Winter wheat keys off September Chicago futures; spring wheat off Minneapolis. Those windows are added here as they're configured.
Are these the official RMA prices?
This tracks the same publicly traded futures RMA uses and applies the same averaging. Treat in-window figures as running estimates until the window closes; the USDA Risk Management Agency publishes the official prices. Always verify with your agent and policy documents.
