Add PRF Detail Lines to a Coverage

When adding detail lines for PRF, a user selects the index intervals to include on the coverage. These intervals should indicate the periods when rain is most important to the grower's operation. These index intervals then become the individual detail lines on the coverage.

1. Locate and open the policy that contains the PRF coverage you need to add a detail line to. The policy opens on the Coverages tab. Any coverages already on the policy are shown in the MPCI Coverage Information section.
2. On the Coverages tab of the policy, in the MPCI Coverage Information section, locate the PRF coverage you need to add a detail line to. In the Detail Lines column that corresponds with the coverage you need to add a detail line to, click the Add hyperlink. The Add New Detail Line page opens in a popup.

NOTE: If detail lines already exist on a coverage, the hyperlink in the Detail Lines column will display as "View (X)" where X equals the number of detail lines on the coverage. To add a detail line to the coverage, click the View (X) hyperlink for the coverage. The Detail Lines tab will open for that coverage. You can then click the Add button above the Detail Line Information grid to open the Add New Detail Line page in a popup and continue to the next step.

3. On the Add New Detail Line page, the first fields available may differ based on the coverage (grazing vs haying) as well as the selections made on the coverage (i.e., for haying, if an irrigation practice and/or organic practice was selected).
If the coverage is for grazing, skip to step 6.
If the coverage is for haying, continue to the next step.
4. If the coverage you're adding a detail line to has an intended use of haying, the Irrigation Practice field displays.
If an irrigation practice was not selected on the coverage, from this dropdown, select an irrigation practice. The Organic Practice field displays. Continue to the next step.
If an irrigation practice was selected on the coverage, this field defaults to the irrigation practice selected on the coverage and is read-only. Continue to the next step.
5. If the coverage you're adding a detail line to has an intended use of haying and an irrigation practice has been set either in the step above or on the coverage previously, the Organic Practice field displays.
If an organic practice was not selected on the coverage, from this dropdown, select an organic practice. Continue to the next step.
If an organic practice was selected on the coverage, this field defaults to the organic practice selected on the coverage and is read-only. Continue to the next step.

NOTE: If the irrigation practice is Irrigated, the only option available in this dropdown will be "No Organic Practice Specified". This option is also available for a line with a Non-Irrigated practice and can be selected if you do not need to specify an organic practice.

6. From the Grid ID dropdown, select the grid id where the field is located. This list is populated from the ADM for the State/County selected.

TIP: Click the Grid ID hyperlink to open the Pasture, Rangeland, Forage Support Tool website. The site opens in a new browser tab and allows you to search for the coverage location and identify the correct grid id.

7. In the Insurable Acres field, type the number of acres that are insurable on the coverage for the grid ID.

8. In the Grower Shares field, type the grower's percent of share as a decimal for the insurable acres (e.g., .75 for 75% share or 1 for 100% share).
9. In the Insured Acres field, type the number of Insurable Acres that the grower wants to insure on this coverage in the grid ID. The grower does not have to insure all acres.
10. The Intended Use/Type is brought over from the coverage and displays as read-only. To change this, you will need to edit the coverage the detail line is attached to.
11. In the Orig. Insured AR Date field, if available, type the date the Insured signed the original acreage report using DDMMYYYY format or click the calendar button to open the calendar and select the date.
12. In the Orig. Agent AR Date field, if available, type the date the Agent signed the original acreage report using DDMMYYYY format or click the calendar button to open the calendar and select the date.
13. From the Acreage Type dropdown, select the type of acreage the insured acres qualify as.

Selecting Intervals for the Detail Line

For PRF, a user must indicate the periods, or Index Intervals, when rainfall (precipitation) is most important to the grower's insured acres. For the Rainfall Index, at least two (2) intervals are required to be selected.

To allow for this selection, the System provides an intervals grid, which breaks out the available Insured Acres into the different available Intervals. The number of acres and the percent of the coverage's value are shown per selected interval.

14. To make interval selections, from the Intervals options, choose to edit the intervals grid "By Percent" or "By Acres". If you select "By Percent", the % of Value column fields become editable; if you select "By Acres", the Acres column fields become editable.

15. In the Intervals grid, select or deselect the checkboxes next to the intervals you want to insure the coverage for. You can select as few as 2 for RI plans. However, you cannot select overlapping intervals (i.e., SEPOCTIRR and OCTNOVIRR are invalid since they share the month of October). With this restriction, the maximum number of selected intervals allowed per coverage is six (6).

NOTE: The names of the intervals displayed in the Intervals column will change based on options selected on the coverage and/or detail line when "Haying" is selected as the intended use for the coverage. Irrigated Intervals (e.g., OCTNOVIRR and AUGSEPTIRR) only display when an "Irrigated" Irrigation Practice is selected; Non-Irrigated Intervals (e.g., OCTNOVNIRR and AUGSEPTNIRR) only display when a "Non-Irrigated" Irrigation Practice is selected; Non-Irrigated Organic Certified Intervals (e.g., OCTNOVNIOC and AUGSEPTNIOC) only display when a "Non-Irrigated" Irrigation Practice and "Organic(Certified)" Organic Practice are selected; and Non-Irrigated Organic Transitional Intervals (e.g., OCTNOVNIOT and AUGSEPTNIOT) only display when a "Non-Irrigated" Irrigation Practice and "Organic(Transitional)" Organic Practice are selected.

16. Once you've selected the intervals, edit the Acres or % of Value for each chosen interval. This value should reflect the importance of each interval to the coverage; however, you cannot give any single interval more or less than the maximum and minimum allowed by the ADM for the State/County. The % of Value for all selected intervals must sum to 100%; the Acres must sum to the Insured Acres entered above the grid. The Total Interval Acres and Total Interval Percent for your grid selections are shown to the left of the grid.

TIP: To evenly divide the Insured Acres value across the selected intervals, click Divide Among Intervals to the left of the grid. The System divides the Insured Acres for you, and then, you can edit the given values as needed.

NOTE: Upon save, each Index Interval is listed as a separate detail line on the coverage.

17. Skip the Point of Reference field. This is a read-only field that displays the longitude and latitude of any existing PORs. If more than 10 PORs exist, only the first 10 will display. If PORs do not yet exist, "POR Required" will display in red text.

NOTE: PORs can be added using the POR modal which can be launched from the Manage Land IDs popup. You can open the Manage Land IDs popup from the Add New/Maintain Detail Line page popup. See the last step for more info.

18. To document any additional information important to the coverage or the detail line, in the Comments field, type your notes.
19. To print the comments on the Production Reporting Forms, Acreage Reporting Forms, and SOI, select the Print Comments on Forms checkbox.
20. As your next step, click one of the following buttons:
