Topics to be covered - Pasture Rangeland and Forage RI (PRF) insurance is a program that is used to insure that we get the rainfall needed when it is crucial. Rainfall produces the forage that we use to feed our livestock. Without adequate rainfall that forage will not exist. In these instances, many producers are forced to sell livestock, change business plans or spend money supplementing or buying off farm forages. This program is designed to help with cash flow needs during those times. Join us to learn more about how the program works.
