Track: Agriculture
Author(s): Rhonda Fetters, Seavey Anthony, Jay Garner
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Risk Management Agency (RMA) administers the federal crop insurance program. Its purpose is to provide an actuarially sound risk management program to reduce agricultural producers' losses. This paper describes the application of GIS in RMA business processes. It illustrates how GIS is being used to provide mapping tools and products for decision makers and the process of integrating GIS data with the RMA policy database to visualize various aspects of RMA's business against factors that affect crop insurance.
