AgRisk Viewer

The AgRisk Viewer allows users to explore, visualize, and analyze publicly-available crop insurance data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Risk Management Agency (RMA).

What is RMA?

The USDA Risk Management Agency serves America's agricultural producers through effective, market-based risk management tools to strengthen the economic stability of agricultural producers and rural communities. The agency also manages the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC), which acts as a safety net for farmers and ranchers against adverse risk related to weather, finances, and production, to name a few.

What data are presented here?

The primary sources of these data are obtained from publicly-available historical files from the RMA website: (1) cause of loss historical data files, and (2) summary of business reports.
