National Sorghum Producers Develops ACRE/Ghost Crop/SURE Calculator

The interactions between the new ACRE program, SURE program and crop insurance are varied and complex. With that in mind, the National Sorghum Producers and its subsidiary, Sustainable Crop Insurance Services, have developed a spreadsheet for calculating your benefits under the three programs. The calculator was developed specifically for the state of Oklahoma after widespread freezing in wheat presented questions about whether or not a crop planted after failed wheat is considered ghost or double crop for insurance and commodity program purposes. The calculator is available on our website at www.sorghumgrowers.com.
