PRF insures against the loss of production of hay or pasture in a designated grid. Coverage is based on rainfall that the grid receives over a designated time frame and not on an individual farm. Precipitation is the only peril that is covered on this policy. Coverage levels range from 70-90% with increments of 5%.
There is also a productivity factor election which ranges from 60-150% of the county base value.
Producers must select at least 2, 2 month intervals. RMA uses NOAA data to calculate precipitation.
2023 County Base Value $72.90 (see actuarials for your specific county and state)
