All participants must pay a fee and an administrative cost share (ACS) each year.
Calculating your fee
(Fee reference margin) x (85% coverage) x (fee rate of 0.45%) = Fee
- The fee reference margin is an average of your recent production margins
- The AgriStability fee is based on 85 percent of your reference margin
- The AgriStability fee rate is 0.45 percent
The minimum fee is $45.
Administrative Cost Share (ACS)
The ACS is $55. It helps cover administrative costs each year.
Late payments
If you miss the payment deadline, your coverage will be automatically renewed and a 20 percent late penalty will be added to your fee.
Once your coverage is renewed, you will owe your total amount due, even if you fail to meet other eligibility requirements (such as submitting your application and tax forms, or paying your fee).
