Why would anyone want to insure for lack of rainfall? Well because rainfall produces forage that feeds livestock. Without that forage, you may be forced to sell that livestock lighter than expected or spend a lot of money supplementing that food supply.

Only one week left for landowners to review and consider base acre increases on farms enrolled in Agriculture Risk Coverage or Price Loss Coverage.

After reviewing the Base Allocation Summary, landowners should contact their local FSA office by Aug. 31, 2026, if acreage history data is incorrect or missing, there are “subsequent acres” listed and you would like to choose the subsequent acreage for base allocation, or to opt out of receiving any additional base acres.
