RI (Rainfall Index):
The Rainfall Index (RI) plan of insurance is a risk management tool. It insures against a decline in an index value that is based on the long-term historical average precipitation. The size approximates to about a 12×12 mile grid over specific two-month time intervals.
A minimum of two index intervals must be selected for acreage insured under the RI plan. The insured selects which index intervals to cover and the amount of coverage. Selection of index intervals is critical to the effectiveness of the RI plan as a risk management tool. Coverage is based on indexes for the grid, not the producer’s actual rainfall. Learn more about PRF here.

Rainfall index measurement stations

There are over 9,000 NOAA Weather Stations across the country. It is impossible to accurately monitor the precipitation every ranch actually receives using this system. It is possible to create an index and monitor the precipitation an area receives relative to history.
