Commodity-family residual inside New York's $165M ERS total

Exclusive partition of this state's fiscal-year 2023 USDA ERS total (COMMODITY-LED). Conservation and disaster are published line items; the residual is commodity / ARC-PLC / MFP and other program families in the same extract.

New York: commodity / ARC-PLC families lead a mid book

Cash-receipt leadership is Cattle and Corn ($455M) inside $7.1B total receipts; the commodity ledger, not the disaster or conservation line, is the first read for this stamp.

New York vs. every rankable state: what goes into crop insurance isn't what comes out

Each dot is a state that clears the $1M premiums floor, placed by what it pays IN (premiums, left to right) against what its indemnities return relative to that (loss ratio, bottom to top). Paying more into the program is not the same as getting more out of it, a state can sit in the small-payer / outsized-payout quadrant just as easily as the reverse.

New York pays $40M in crop-insurance premiums (#34 of 47 rankable states) against a 186% loss ratio (#31 by claims relative to premiums): a small payer, net subsidizer of the program state, not simply "pays a lot" or "pays a little."
