This publication models and maps county-level projected net payouts per acre under the safety net provisions enhanced by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), combining Agricultural Risk Coverage (ARC), Price Loss Coverage (PLC), and Federal Crop Insurance program indemnities minus farmer-paid premiums. Integrating data from FAPRI state projections, RAFF base acre allocation models, and USDA RMA historical summary of business records (2010–2024 and 2015–2024), the authors estimate average national combined safety net payments of approximately $60 per acre, with most U.S. counties falling in the $45 to $70 range. The analysis highlights that overall financial support is largely driven by commodity mix rather than geography alone: major corn-, soybean-, wheat-, and sorghum-producing counties in the Midwest and Plains receive moderate, uniform support, whereas Southern and regional counties with high concentrations of rice, cotton, and peanut base acres experience significantly higher per-acre payout intensity (ranging from $70 to $130 per acre). Ultimately, the study provides early visual mapping and baseline data to inform cash-flow planning, agricultural lending, and risk management under expanded federal farm bill safety net coverage.
