Projected and Harvest Price Discovery
The Risk Management Agency (RMA) provides farmers with essential information on crop prices for decision-making and risk management. Projected and Harvested Prices are available on RMA’s price discovery page RMA Price Discovery - Home (usda.gov)
Farmers can access current prices for commodities like corn, soybeans, wheat, and cotton, which are updated regularly. The RMA also sets base prices for federal crop insurance, helping protect farmers from price fluctuations.
