                                                                                                                                                    1  Farm Bill Program Enrollment Decisions by Kansas Farmers     Candice Wilson (clwilson@ksu.edu), Mykel Taylor (mtaylor@ksu.edu), and Glynn Tonsor (gtonsor@ksu.edu)  Kansas State University Department of Agricultural Economics ‐ June 2017      The 2014 Farm Bill required Kansas producers to make a series of enrollment decisions that  were both complicated and based on incomplete information. With this bill, producers were required  to complete a one‐time enrollment in one of three programs, Agriculture Risk Coverage‐County  Coverage (ARC‐CO), Agricultural Risk Coverage‐Individual Coverage (ARC‐IC) and Price Loss Coverage  (PLC), to serve as a safety net for poor crop prices and/or yields over the five‐year life of the legislation.  As agricultural production represents the largest sector of the Kansas economy, valued at over $64  million annually (43% of the total economy), the analysis of predicted and actual enrollment is crucial  in giving insight into producers’ decision‐making processes. The current downturn facing the  agricultural sector coupled with political pressure to reduce federal expenditures only intensifies the  need for an effective and economically sustainable safety net. Due to the nature of the one‐time  enrollment for the five‐year life of the 2014 Farm Bill, it is imperative to understand how producers  made their program selection. Considering the effects of incomplete information on producers’  decisions provides an opportunity to identify challenges associated with program selection under the  2014 Farm Bill and suggest changes for future farm support legislation.     Data used for the analysis of program enrollment were collected from a variety of sources: FSA,  NASS, and Kansas State University were all sources of information used to statistically investigate  factors affecting program enrollment by Kansas farmers. Survey data were obtained from  approximately 1,400 producers across the state of Kansas to help identify specific enrollment  considerations. The surveys were collected before and after K‐State Extension educational efforts at 15  meetings. These meetings were held across the sta …
