Falsifier: Sum all total_premium_amount and subsidy_amount values for state ME, year 2026 from the USDA RMA SoB. Falsified if the totals differ.

### Crop insurance indemnities paid in Maine for 2026: $223,368

Falsifier: Sum all indemnity_amount values for state ME, year 2026 from the USDA RMA SoB. Falsified if the total differs.

### Maine crop insurance loss ratio for 2026: 7.2%

**DERIVED.** Atlas Commons computes Maine's crop insurance loss ratio for 2026 as 7.2% (indemnity paid / total premium × 100). A ratio above 100% means more was paid in claims than collected in premiums — common in catastrophic crop years. This is an Atlas Commons computation over the USDA RMA SoB figures; USDA RMA does not publish a per-state summary loss ratio.

Source: USDA Risk Management Agency Summary of Business (Atlas Commons aggregation — indemnity / total_premium × 100) — https://www.rma.usda.gov/data/sob
Falsifier: Reproduce: divide the sum of indemnity_amount by the sum of total_premium_amount for state ME, year 2026 in the USDA RMA SoB. Falsified if the ratio differs.

### All Other Crops is the largest crop insurance commodity in Maine by liability (2026): $18,732,639

**DERIVED.** By total liability covered, All Other Crops (USDA commodity code 9999) is the largest crop insurance commodity in Maine for 2026 with $18,732,639 in liability across 226 policies. This is Atlas Commons's ranking of the USDA RMA SoB figures; USDA does not publish a per-state commodity ranking.

Source: USDA Risk Management Agency Summary of Business (Atlas Commons aggregation) — https://www.rma.usda.gov/data/sob
Falsifier: Reproduce: sum liability_amount by commodity for state ME, year 2026 in the USDA RMA SoB. The commodity with the highest total liability should match. Falsified if a different commodity ranks first.

### What this crop insurance profile is — and is NOT — for Maine (2026)

**INTERPRETATION.** This profile aggregates USDA RMA Summary of Business data to the state level for 2026. Policy counts and dollar amounts are AGGREGATED (Atlas Commons sums of RMA published sub-row figures). The loss ratio and commodity ranking are Atlas Commons computations — not USDA-published statistics. This surface informs — it is NOT actuarial analysis, a prediction of future indemnities, or advice on which crops to insure. For crop-specific federal actuarial data and program participation, use the USDA RMA Cost Estimator and Actuarial Data Master files.

Source: Coverage Atlas framing (over the USDA RMA sources cited above) — https://coverage-atlas.ryanjhunter.workers.dev/coverage/crop/states/me
Falsifier: occurred=FALSE (a framing, not an RMA event) and adjudged=FALSE — the lowest-warrant claim in this dataset. The policy counts and dollar totals above are computed sums of RMA figures.
