Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Myths Debunked

When making decisions about Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage (PRF) insurance, it’s essential to distinguish between what’s true and what’s not. Some common myths may prevent you from utilizing this helpful risk management option. Let’s explore these myths and clarify the facts.

Common Misconceptions

Myth: PRF Insurance is too expensive.

• Truth: Some think PRF insurance will break the bank, but this isn’t the full picture. Government subsidies significantly reduce premium costs, making it an affordable option for managing crop and forage-related risks.

Myth: PRF Insurance doesn’t provide enough coverage to be worthwhile.

• Truth: PRF insurance can be customized. You can choose coverage periods based on past rainfall patterns and the times that matter most for your business. This way, you can get fair compensation when bad weather impacts your productivity.

Myth: PRF Insurance is only for large-scale operations.

• Truth: PRF insurance helps farms and pastures of all sizes. Its flexible coverage can be adjusted to meet the specific needs of your situation, regardless of size.

Myth: The claims process for PRF Insurance is complicated and not worth the hassle.

• Truth: While any insurance can have complexities, the PRF claims process is very hassle-free. Since it is an area plan and completely dependent on the rainfall totals received from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), most of the work is done without having to monitor the process.

By addressing these myths head-on, you can better understand why PRF insurance is not merely a cost but a smart investment in the stability and success of your agricultural endeavors.
