‘Whole-farm’ insurance tool on USDA blog site

AGR-Lite Wizard, a free online tool that can helps diversified crop and livestock producers gauge whether whole-farm insurance protection makes sense for their operations, is featured on the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s “USDA Blog.”

The National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT) and Montana Tech of the University of Montana developed AGR-Lite Wizard in a partnership funded by the USDA Risk Management Agency (RMA). Jeff Schahczenski, an agricultural economist with NCAT, was the lead developer of the project.
