Decrease in premium and indemnities during the last two fiscal years is due primarily to the decrease in crop prices. Lower prices generally result in lower premiums. Lower lose ratio attributes to lower indemnity payments for last two fiscal years. Lower losses are due to
better weather and a decrease variability in prices between the beginning and ending of the growing season.
