The purpose of these figures known as feed co-efficients, is to estimate the value of farm-fed grain including grain, oilseeds, speciality crops, complete feeds, protein supplements and cereal forages for NISA purposes. "Farm fed grain declaration—cattle and calves" forms will be mailed directly to all producers who have a National Tripartite Stabilization Program (NTSP) account.

"Producers who don't use it will automatically be assigned a feed co-efficient of five per cent. So, if you've already filled out your NISA application form, that five per cent will automatically be calculated by the NISA administration. "But, higher feed equivalent co-efficient values, of up to 50 per cent, can be attained by using the form. So, producers who would benefit from calculating their own co-efficient should fill out the new form. "By filling out the form, producers calculate their own individual co-efficient based on their combination of purchased and raised feeders, cows, bulls, breeding stock, veal, calves, and purebred ; He adds producers don't have to re-submit their entire NISA application form, only fill in the new form. The form has four parts. The first section identifies the individual. The second records the number of head and sales amount of nine categories of cattle.
