Preserving Family Farms and Ranches for Future Generations
Preserving Family Farms and Ranches for Future Generations
At North Red Insurance, we feel honored to serve people in production agriculture and to help them make better, more informed risk management decisions. We have a farming and ranching heritage and share your values of faith, hard work, family, and generational land stewardship.
At North Red Insurance, we focus on USDA programs that can be used to manage many of the risks involved in farming and ranching, including lack of rainfall, failed hay and forage crops, and volatile cattle prices.
We strive to preserve family farms and ranches by combining our long held values with subsidized USDA programs, individualized policies, and industry-leading technology.
Every farm and ranch has different insurance needs. We strive to sit down with each and every rancher we serve and comprehensively review their policies each year. We are here to serve you and your family; for this generation, the next, and those yet to come.
Call us today for a personalized farm and ranch assessment and find out how we can help.
Pasture, Rangeland, Forage (PRF) insurance insures against lack of rainfall for perennial grazing or haying acres. In part, the program was designed to help ranchers pay feed bills during periods of below average rainfall.
NOAA has maintained a regionalized grid of both average and recorded rainfall since 1948. Claims occur when recorded rainfall falls below the historical average, as measured in up to eleven, two-month periods throughout the year. These claims are generally calculated and paid within 65 days of the end of each two-month period. This immediate relief helps cover increasing feed costs throughout the year.
Annual Forage (AF) insurance insures crops against a lack of rainfall for all of a producer’s annually-grown acreage that is produced as feed and fodder for livestock.
It works very similar to PRF in that you are insuring the growing season (typically six-seven months) against below average precipitation as measured by NOAA.
Because of higher input costs and stocking rates, AF can be insured for much more per acre than native pastures.
Livestock Risk Protection provides protection against price declines for feeder cattle, fed cattle, lamb, and swine. This program is very similar to a “put” in the futures market. Ranchers initially identify the number of calves, expected weights, and the time of the year when calves will be marketed. This information is used to determine an expected commodity price for a given type, weight, and date. If the market falls below the contracted price, the insured will receive a claim for the decrease in value from market expectations. If the market is at or above expectations, the rancher will receive a bill for the price protection.
All claims are based on a change in market conditions. What you sell your calves for, if you sell them at all, has no impact on the claim.
