P = Pasture R = Range F = Forage Protect your grass and rangeland from losses due to drought with the federally subsidized Pasture, Rangeland and Forage (PRF) insurance.

It’s simple. You determine the level of protection that fits your

operation. Ag Risk can use their proprietary PRFormance Analyzer TM to find the best coverage for your situation. You select the time of the year most volatile in your geographic area, in two-month increments. When rainfall is less than 90% of the expected average during the months you selected, you are eligible to file a claim.

Join us for the 2018 KSU Beef Stocker Field Day for the latest in practical information to help you make the most of significant changes occurring in the beef industry. We’ll offer management tips to help you optimize your stocker operation and provide you with increased flexibility in the future.

Registration cost is $25 by September 15; $35 at the door
