Oklahoma: large disaster-heavy ERS book

Oklahoma stamps DISASTER-HEAVY · DENSE on USDA ERS FY2023: disaster aid $733M of $823M total (#2 of 50 by total).

Crop-insurance loss ratio 469% ($701M indemnities on $149M premiums) sits beside the disaster line; read them together, not as substitutes. A ratio above 100% means claims exceeded premiums in this reporting period; it is not, by itself, a measure of a state’s agricultural risk.

Oklahoma 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.
