Recent changes to the USDA’s Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) insurance program have made it a much more attractive risk management tool for cattle producers, according to Brandon Willis with Utah-based Ranchers Insurance.
“If you’ve heard of LRP before and you thought, ‘nah, it’s not worth my time’, it probably wasn’t then. But I can tell you, it is now,” Willis says. “If you’re running your operations as a business, this is a program you should pay attention to.”
Willis encourages interested cow-calf producers not to wait until calves are on the ground.
