Closing Date for pasture, Range and Forage Insurance programs Nov 17th

Sales Closing Date Near for Apiculture and Pasture, Rangeland, Forage Insurance

SPOKANE, Wash., Nov. 3, 2014 – USDA’s Risk Management Agency (RMA) reminds producers in Idaho and Oregon of the November 17 sales closing date for the Pasture, Rangeland, Forage (PRF) Pilot and Apiculture (API) Pilot insurance programs for the 2015 crop year.


PRF is designed to give forage and livestock producers the ability to buy insurance for forage produced for haying and grazing. The API pilot provides a safety net for beekeepers’ primary income sources – honey, pollen collection, wax, and breeding stock. The PRF and API pilot programs (available in all counties in Idaho and Oregon) are based on vegetation greenness indices.

Producers are encouraged to visit their crop insurance agent to review their historical grid information prior to the sales closing date of Monday, November 17, 2015. Federal crop insurance program policies are sold and delivered solely through private crop insurance companies and agents. A list of crop insurance agents is available at all USDA service centers throughout the United States or on the RMA web site at www3.rma.usda.gov/tools/agents.
