WFRP Expands to Nationwide Coverage; Additional Changes Reduce Limits and Increase Eligibility<\/h3><\/div>

Whole Farm Revenue Protection (WFRP<\/a>) has been expanded to all counties in the U.S. for the 2016 crop year. For the first time, growers of grain, specialty products and other ag-related commodities nationwide can participate in this highly subsidized federal crop insurance program, authorized in the 2014 Farm Bill. Other key modifications to WFRP include adjusted documentation requirements to better reflect farm record-keeping, reduced limits on specific types of products, and new accommodations for beginning and expanding farms.<\/p>\n

WFRP was designed to insure all commodities on a farm under one insurance policy, and it is one of the latest and best products for risk management on the market today. WFRP protects farmers against loss of revenue from commodities produced as well as commodities purchased for resale during the insurance period, and also provides replant coverage for annual crops.<\/p>\n

WFRP allows farmers to insure whichever is lower, a 5-year average of historic revenue or expected revenue for the current year, across all commodities on the farm under one insurance policy. Designed to provide farms\u00a0with coverage for 50 to 85% of their projected income, WFRP insures up to a cap of $8.5 million in revenue guaranteed. Producers who are eligible include those growing specialty or organic commodities \u2013 both crops and livestock, or those marketing to local, regional, farm-identity preserved, or direct markets.<\/p>\n
