Whole Farm Revenue Protection and Other Webinars
Whole Farm Revenue Protection – January 13, 2015 – 7:00pm CST
This Tuesday our winter farminar series kicks off with a presentation on “Whole Farm Revenue Protection.” This new type of crop insurance is available to Iowa producers (and everyone else) for the first time in 2015, and will provide higher levels of coverage and lower premium costs than previous whole farm crop insurance products.
Agricultural economist Jeff Schahczenski with the National Center for Appropriate Technology will review WFRP, outlining its benefits and its more challenging aspects, and beginning farmer and PFI member Tony Thompson will provide farmer questions and insights.
Jeff Schahczenski, an agricultural economist, is NCAT Agriculture Policy and Funding Research Director. He is the author of “Crop Insurance Options for Specialty, Diversified, and Organic Farmers”by NCAT-ATTRA (2012) and created, with RMA assistance, the AGR-Lite Wizard to help farmers explore the costs and benefits of this whole farm insurance product. He has provided workshops and webinars nationwide on crop insurance topics.
Tony Thompson is a beginning farmer operating an expanding CSA on his family’s century farm near Elkhart, IA. He has a PhD in sustainability and product innovation from Sweden. He’s an idealist at heart and a pragmatist in practice, and you’ll find him serving on the boards of the Iowa Farmers Union and Iowa Food Coop. He is new to and only slightly daunted by the complex world of farm insurance.
