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 state of Kansas between January and March of 2015
and attended by over 4,000 farmers, landowners, and others.
