Extract: The purpose of this paper is to present a methodology to evaluate the impact of participation in the 1977 Act on risk transfer for a representative farm firm in South Central Georgia. Important policy provisions of the Act, including loan rate, deficiency payments, set aside, voluntary diversion, and disaster payments are incorporated into a quadratic risk programming model which is used in an E-V analysis of risk transfer. Since a major methodological problem of the analysis was the estimation of a variance-covariance matrix for commodities covered under the Act, this paper focuses on this aspect of the analysis.
