MULTI-PERIL
Pasture, Rangeland and Forage
Rainfall Index - Pasture, Rangeland and Forage (RI-PRF) is a federally reinsured product that provides protection
against a single peril — lack of precipitation. Coverage can be purchased by landlords, tenants and owner/
operators for those acres important to their haying or grazing operation. Producers may select from a variety of coverage levels, productivity factors and two-month index intervals to personalize their plan. The Rainfall Index program uses weather data collected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to determine rainfall levels. When the final grid index falls below your trigger grid index, you may receive an indemnity.
Recent Changes
- FSA-578s may be used in conjunction with other documentation in determining shares.
- Veteran Farmer or Rancher (VFR) includes qualifying veteran with non-veteran spouse.
- Producers can report acreage as certified organic or as in transition to certified organic, if requested by acreage reporting date (ARD).
- Producer is responsible for starting dispute resolution through arbitration when disagreeing with AIP’s determination.
- Previously, the Farm/Tract/Field, Common Land Unit (CLU), Resource Land Unit (RLU) and “etc.” were allowed. “Etc.” has been removed, meaning that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is no longer an option. In cases where a Farm/Tract/Field or CLU are not available, an RLU will be required. Luckily, Hudson’s eHarvest® system makes RLUs a cinch!
- Failure to provide documentation when requested by Hudson for acreage inspection, verification of points of reference (POR) and/or verification of Appli cation will result in no indemnity being due, but premium is still owed.
- Clarified that a separate point of reference is required for all non-contiguous acreage.
- Definition of livestock revised to clarify livestock must be a partof an agriculture operation. Example: domesticated bison.
- Clarified that land should be suitable for haying or grazing at acreage reporting time.
- Woody vegetation and cacti added as examples that make land impractical to hay.
