              Research and Development Division
     
     SUBJECT: Preliminary 1995 Sales Data


     Attached is an updated table of the data provided in MGR-95-030 showing
     the number of Multiple Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) policies reported to
     date for the 1995 crop year.

     Because of the nature of MPCI, there will be fewer premium-earning
     policies at year-end than are now indicated by these numbers.  This
     is primarily caused by zero acreage reports for crops ultimately not
     planted for the year.
