How crop insurance can help farmers stay in business

Crop insurance is an increasingly important tool for managing the production and price risks facing farmers and ranchers. In this episode, Dr. Hunter Biram of the University of Arkansas breaks down how federal crop insurance works and how it complements Farm Service Agency programs. The episode dives into discussion about what producers should know about coverage options. The conversation also explores Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage (PRF) insurance, livestock risk protection, basis risk, and how cattle producers can use these programs to manage production challenges.The links to the workbook and Hunter's podcast can be found below:The Fundamentals of Federal Crop Insurance: https://www.uaex.uada.edu/publications/pdf/MP576.pdf Morning Coffee and Ag Markets Podcast: https://fryar-risk-center.uada.edu/podcast/
