Services
Multi-Peril Crop Insurance
Our Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI) provides comprehensive protection against weather-related yield losses and revenue declines. Covering over 100 crops including cotton, corn, wheat, and specialty crops, this federally subsidized program forms the foundation of most Ag-Risk strategies. Our advanced evaluation tools help producers optimize coverage levels while minimizing premium costs through strategic use of yield adjustments, trend analysis, and exclusion options.
Livestock Risk Protection
Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) insurance safeguards against market price declines for feeder cattle, fed cattle, and swine. This program allows producers to protect their margins without limiting profit potential during favorable market conditions. Our customized strategies combine LRP with other risk management tools to create comprehensive protection plans that address both price volatility and production risks for livestock operations.
Annual Forage Insurance
Annual Forage Insurance protects grazing and feed crops against losses from insufficient rainfall and declining vegetation. Designed for pasture and hay producers, this area-based program provides financial security when forage production falls short. Our experts help producers evaluate this coverage option alongside other insurance products to create balanced risk management strategies tailored to their specific agricultural operations.
Production Cost Insurance
Production Cost Insurance (PCI) offers revenue protection based on county-level production data. This innovative program provides flexibility through different plan types and practice standards, including separate coverage levels for irrigated and non-irrigated operations. Our team utilizes advanced software analysis to help producers understand PCI options and integrate them effectively with other risk management tools for comprehensive protection.
Crop Hail Insurance
Crop Hail Insurance provides targeted coverage against hail damage and fire-related losses. This specialized protection can be combined with other insurance products to create layered risk management strategies. Our agents help producers evaluate hail risk factors in their specific regions and determine appropriate coverage levels to protect their investments in crops like cotton, corn, and grain sorghum.
