Episode 20 - Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Rainfall Index Insurance Deadline is December 1st

In today’s episode of the Morning Coffee and Ag Markets podcast, Riley and Dr. Biram are joined by special guests Dr. James Mitchell, Professor and Extension Livestock Economist Specialist at the University of Arkansas, and graduate student Walker Davis. First, we provide an overview of PRF Insurance (Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Insurance), a risk management tool designed to help producers protect against the financial impact of weather-related losses in these critical areas of agriculture. Dr. Mitchell then discusses the weather and market conditions that have shaped the pasture, rangeland, and forage sector from the fall of 2021 to the present day in 2024. The episode concludes with insights from Walker Davis, whose graduate thesis focuses on PFR Insurance and its role in today’s agricultural landscape. Tune in for a deep dive into these important topics and learn how producers are managing risk in the ever-changing ag market.
