Feedstuffs<\/p>\n<h3>Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Insurance Program Review<\/h3>\n<p>The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Risk Management Agency, has postponed the Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Pilot Insurance Program (PRF), better known as the rainfall insurance, until December 1st.\u00a0 Producers will have until that day to apply and purchase this insurance that helps reduce the economic impact of a lack of rainfall in their operations.<\/p>\n<p>The PRF Insurance program was designed to provide insurance coverage on grazing pastures, rangeland, and forage acres with or without irrigation.\u00a0\u00a0 The program does not directly measure the drought effect. It measures the lack of rainfall. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) developed a rainfall index to determine the lack of precipitation in a specific area, grid.\u00a0 The index compares the actual rainfall with average rainfall for that grid. Each grid used by NOAA has approximately 17 by 17 miles (if located at the equator).<\/p>\n<p>Indemnities are triggered when the actual rainfall is below the average historical rainfall.\u00a0 As it does not directly measure the negative production impact on your pasture, rangeland, or forage system, the program allows you to assign a productive factor to better match your farm productivity in that given area.\u00a0 Producers also have the chance to select the intended use of those acres (Grazing or Haying), irrigation practice, organic practice, and the coverage level (70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%). Most importantly, producers can select the periods in which they consider coverage is most important for their operations. \u00a0The system allows you to select the percentage to be insured in bi-monthly intervals.<\/p>\n<h3>PRF Example.<\/h3>\n<p>This program is an important risk management tool that needs to be incorporated in most operations.\u00a0 Following, we will use a 1000-acre ranch as an example to examine the benefits of using this program in our area.<\/p>\n<p>We will use the USDA-RMA\u2019s Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Support Tool (https:\/\/prodwebnlb.rma.usda.gov\/apps\/prf) to help us determine premium costs and the impact of this program on our operation.\u00a0 I do recommend ranchers and farmers use this decision tool to understand better the implications of this program will work for their operations.\u00a0 For this example, we randomly chose the location of this ranch that fell into the grid ID 17221, located north HWY 287, in Hardeman County, TX (Image 1).\u00a0 We assumed that 100% of the acres used for this ranch example are in the same grid. However, the acres you want to insure on your farm might be in more than one grid. In that case, you will have to insure each acreage of each grid.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Image 1. Pasture, Rangeland, Forage Support Tool. (USDA-RMA)<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1757 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/amarillo.tamu.edu\/agecon\/files\/2021\/11\/PRF-MAP-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"635\" height=\"423\" \/><\/h4>\n<p>First, producers must determine the location of the farm.\u00a0 Producers need to select the intended use of those acres (Grazing or Haying), production systems (irrigation, organic), and the coverage level (70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%).\u00a0 We are going to use a coverage level of 90% and a productivity factor of 100%.\u00a0 Moreover, we are going to use results from the 2011 year as the sample year.<\/p>\n<p>Summer forage production is critical for our production system in this area.\u00a0 The chosen strategy was to ensure those months in which forage production is vital for our operation.\u00a0 A reduction in forage production in that period will have significant production and economic impact. An indemnity payment will help producers to reduce losses and face higher feed costs.\u00a0 For this reason, we chose to insure 30% for the interval May-June, 40% July-Aug, and 30% Sept-Oct. The total percentage selected should add to 100% (Table 1).<\/p>\n<p>The USDA support tool estimated the producer premium at $2.2 per acre for the 1,000 acres ranch example.\u00a0 The estimated indemnity was calculated as $17.07 per acre, resulting in $14.87 after premium cost.\u00a0 Assuming a stocking rate of 15 acres per cow, the net result obtained per cow was $223.05.\u00a0 These indemnities might not be enough to cover all the extra costs and hard work during a severe drought, but they will certainly help pay for most of our additional feeding costs.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Table 1. Protection Table (USDA-RMA)<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1758 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/amarillo.tamu.edu\/agecon\/files\/2021\/11\/PRF-Table-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"593\" height=\"544\" \/><\/h4>\n<p>Further, we analyzed the impact of this strategy during the last 20 years (Table 2).\u00a0 The support tool estimated an average payment of $1.74 per acre for those 20 years above premiums costs.\u00a0 In five of the twenty years, indemnities were not high enough to compensate for premiums paid. In 75% of the cases, the program paid indemnities to cover producers\u2019 premiums costs given this grid location. Most importantly, it supports producers to cover extra and higher feeding cots when precipitation is lower than usual.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">Table 2.
