GRIPGRIP
GRIP (Group Risk Income Plan) is revenue insurance based on county yields– GRIP-NoHR (No Harvest Revenue option)
– much like RA with base price option– GRIP-HR (Harvest Revenue option) –
much like CRC or RA with harvest price option
GRIP is the revenue counterpart to the county-level yield insurance GRP (Group Risk Plan)
