Falsifier: Verify at the USDA RMA Summary of Business (https://www.rma.usda.gov/data/sob) for state WI, year 2026. Falsified if the sum of all policies sold, liability, or premium differs.

### Crop insurance premium in Wisconsin for 2026: $69,023,331 total, $49,492,021 subsidized

**DERIVED.** Atlas Commons sums $69,023,331 in total premium and $49,492,021 in government subsidy for crop insurance in Wisconsin for 2026. These are faithful sums of the USDA RMA published per-crop-per-plan-per-county figures — no inference or modeling. The government subsidy is the federal premium support paid on behalf of producers; the net producer cost is total premium minus subsidy.

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

### Crop insurance indemnities paid in Wisconsin for 2026: $839,170

**DERIVED.** Atlas Commons sums $839,170 in crop insurance indemnities (claims paid) in Wisconsin for 2026. This is a faithful sum of the USDA RMA published indemnity_amount figures across all crops, plans, and counties — no modeling choice. 216 of 66,301 policies received an indemnity payment.

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

### Wisconsin crop insurance loss ratio for 2026: 1.2%

**DERIVED.** Atlas Commons computes Wisconsin's crop insurance loss ratio for 2026 as 1.2% (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 WI, year 2026 in the USDA RMA SoB. Falsified if the ratio differs.

### Corn is the largest crop insurance commodity in Wisconsin by liability (2026): $349,873,522

**DERIVED.** By total liability covered, Corn (USDA commodity code 0041) is the largest crop insurance commodity in Wisconsin for 2026 with $349,873,522 in liability across 27,847 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 WI, 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 Wisconsin (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/wi
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.
