Subsidized program to insure producers against declining market prices. Producers choose from different price levels and periods for coverage (13-52 weeks). For each endorsement, producers can choose a specific number of head to cover at a specific weight.
Subsidies range from 35-55% of the RMA premium and are based on coverage level.
LRP is offered every trading day. Coverage prices are released every afternoon and based on the previous futures market close. Coverage can be purchased until 8:25 AM CT the next day.
Expiration dates are offered each month and are not tied to live cattle or feeder cattle contract months.
LRP settles to cash (5 Area cash for fed cattle, Feeder Cattle Index for feeder cattle).
Indemnity is paid if coverage price is greater than ending price.
Premium is due at the end of the endorsement and based on coverage price and rate from RMA.
No head minimums, but maximum 25,000 head for feeders and 25,000 for live cattle.

CONTACT CATTLE TEAMThe Risk Management Agency’s (RMA) Pasture, Rangeland, Forage (PRF) Pilot Insurance Program is designed to provide insurance coverage on pasture, rangeland, or forage acres. The PRF program utilizes a rainfall index to determine precipitation for coverage purposes and does not measure production or loss of products themselves. The Rainfall Index uses National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Climate Prediction Center (NOAA CPC) data, which utilizes a grid system to determine precipitation amounts within an area. Each grid is 0.25 degrees in latitude by 0.25 degrees in longitude, which translates to approximately 17 by 17 miles at the equator. Acres will be assigned to one or more grids based on the location to be insured.
