State Assessment Formula

The Insurance Fund was developed around a one-million dollar base apportioned among all 50 states.  The basis for determining the amount of the funds to be appropriated from each of the party states is as follows: 

bullet

Base allocation – One-tenth ($100,000) of the total base fund was assigned equally to each state ($2,000 per state).

bullet

Crop and forest production allocation – the remainder of the base ($900,000) is proportioned to each state on the basis of the value of its crop and forest products, excluding animal and animal products.  

 

State Assessment Table

The following State Assessment Chart has been compiled using data from USDA Economic Research Service following the formula stipulated in the body of the Compact.  It is based on a total budget of one million dollars and is intended to serve as an illustration of each state’s share at this level.  Actual appropriations will be based on the latest production and value figures available.
