Missed Jake Charleston on RFD-TV yesterday? No worries, we've got you covered!

Jake talked with producers weaning calves this fall about why Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) should be part of your marketing plan every year, not only when the market feels shaky.

You never know when the board will drop. Lock in your floor price before it does!

Catch us live on RFD-TV the 2nd & 4th Tuesday of every month at 11:30 AM Central.

Questions about LRP? Give us a call or send us a message & we'd be happy to help. 417-359-5470

Rain’s finally back in Southwest Missouri, but just a few weeks ago we were bone dry. That swing is exactly what Pasture, Rangeland & Forage (PRF) coverage is built for. It’s rainfall-index insurance that pays when precipitation in your area falls below normal, so your hay and grazing plans aren’t left to the forecast. Sign-up for 2027 coverage closes December 1.

It feels like our team is everywhere this week!

A few of our team leads are attending the Applied Net Conference, learning more about our agency management system and exploring new ways to better serve our customers. We’re always looking for opportunities to grow, learn, and improve.

Meanwhile, Rusty McDaniel is representing us at World Dairy Expo in Madison, Wisconsin. If you’re attending, be sure to stop by and say hello at Booth #2014!

And of course, we can’t forget about Ozark Fall Farmfest. Today was move-in day, and our team was hard at work getting everything ready. We’re excited to welcome attendees and visit with producers throughout the show. If you’re there, stop by and see us at Booths #209-211.

We’re proud to have team members out learning, connecting, and serving our agricultural communities across the country this week!

Please welcome Jason Hershberger to the Specialty Risk Insurance team!

Jason has been in the horse business his whole life, and he brings that experience to every client he works with. Based in Congress, Arizona, he has 10 years in the insurance industry and focuses on equine, farm and ranch, PRF, and commercial coverage.

Before insurance, and still today, Jason trains performance Quarter Horses in roping, cow horse, and cutting. He earned his degree in Equine Science and Management at the University of Arizona, where he rode on the rodeo team. He's also an NRCHA and AQHA approved judge who works several major shows every year, and he produces an annual performance horse sale in Scottsdale. The 22nd annual sale is set for February 26, 2027.

When he's off the clock, you'll find him training young rope horses and heading to team roping jackpots. He also loves coaching young horsemen. In his words, he's "had plenty of the hard days" figuring it out, and he'd like to save them a few.

His advice to clients: the right coverage on your business and your assets gives you real peace of mind. He says, "I am here to help them and make their life easier."

If you have horses, land, or an operation to protect, give Jason a call at 602-284-0836, and help us welcome him in the comments!
