### Wyoming crop insurance loss ratio for 2026: 27.6%

**DERIVED.** Atlas Commons computes Wyoming's crop insurance loss ratio for 2026 as 27.6% (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 WY, year 2026 in the USDA RMA SoB. Falsified if the ratio differs.

### Pasture,Rangeland,Forage is the largest crop insurance commodity in Wyoming by liability (2026): $236,612,431

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 WY, 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 Wyoming (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/wy
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.
