This is correct. Nothing to do with carryover. Out of the last 5 years of crop, the lowest and highest yields are dropped. The remaining 3 give you your average yield The average is yield continually changing

If carry over is not involved why do they come out and measure bins 2-3 times a year? Your carry over gas to be accounted for or it goes directly against your claim.

Carry over should not be counted if you file your Report Grains in Storage forms before you start harvesting or no later then Aug 31. This is a note on my AFAC info sheet that just got in mail "Note:carryover production and purchased inventory which is not reported may be counted as current years production and may reduce or eliminate a claim" as for the bin measurements I only get measured if I have a claim and that they only have done once not 2or 3 in a year
