RMA has announced the Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) contract for swine has been expanded to Kansas .  The other states with the swine LRP offer include Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and Wyoming. The LRP contract on swine is expected to be similar to the LRP on feeder cattle.  Currently RMA is projecting swine LRP sales will start in mid-November.

Kansas State University , University of Nebraska , and Colorado State University will be conducting three crop insurance workshops for insurance agents, lenders, and producers.  One of the main topics will be livestock insurance and Dr. Peter Griffin who developed the LRP contract is scheduled to present seminars at all three locations.  This is an excellent opportunity to ask questions and get answers without being “filtered through me”.  Mark your calendar now for the most convenient location and time listed below:
