(i)and (ii), the use of— other sources of county yield information; or the yield history of representative farms in the State, region, or crop reporting district, as determined by the Secretary; and in the case of a farm that has a tract with base acres and that tract crosses a county boundary— prorate the base acres based on the quantity of cropland of the tract in each county; and calculate any crop revenue on the basis described in clause (i). ; and by adding at the end the following: On request of a county Farm Service Agency committee, in coordination with a Farm Service Agency State committee, the Secretary shall consider a 1-time request to calculate a separate actual crop revenue and agriculture risk coverage guarantee for irrigated and nonirrigated covered commodities under subsection (g)(2) in a county if, during the 2014 through 2018 crop years— an average of not less than 5 percent of the planted and considered planted acreage of a covered commodity in the county was irrigated; and an average of not less than 5 percent of the planted and considered planted acreage of the covered commodity in the county was nonirrigated. In considering a request described in paragraph
(1)and calculating a separate actual crop revenue and agriculture risk coverage guarantee for irrigated and nonirrigated covered commodities in a county, the Secretary may use other sources of yield information, including the yield history of representative farms in the State, region, or crop reporting district, as determined by the Secretary. For each crop year for a covered commodity, the Secretary shall publish information describing, for that crop year for the covered commodity in each county— the agriculture risk coverage guarantee for county coverage determined under subsection (c)(1); the average historical county yield determined under subsection (c)(2)(A); and the national average market price determined under subsection (c)(2)(B). Except as provided in clauses
(ii)and (iii), not later than 30 days after the end of each applicable 12-month marketing year, the Secretary shall publish the information described in subparagraph (A). In the case of a covered commodity, such as temperate japonica rice, for which the Secretary cannot determine the national average market price for the most recent 12-month marketing year by the date described in clause
(i)due to insufficient reporting of timely pricing data by 1 or more nongovernmental entities, including a marketing cooperative for the covered commodity, as soon as practicable after the pricing data is made available, the Secretary shall publish information describing— the agriculture risk coverage guarantee under subparagraph (A)(i); and the national average market price under subparagraph (A)(iii). Not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 , the Secretary shall publish the information described in subparagraph
(A)for the 2018 crop year. As soon as practicable after each crop year, the Secretary shall determine and publish each actual average county yield for each covered commodity, as determined under subsection (b)(1)(A). For the 2018 crop year and each crop year thereafter, the Secretary shall make publicly available information describing, for the most recent crop year— the sources of data used to calculate county yields under subsection (c)(2)(A) for each covered commodity— by county; and nationally; and the number and outcome of occurrences in which the Farm Service Agency reviewed, changed, or determined not to change a source of data used to calculate county yields under subsection (c)(2)(A). .
