Understanding Whole-Farm Insurance
for Specialized, Diversified, and Organic Farms
November 29 webinar will discuss AGR-Lite and other options
The National Center for Appropriate Technology (NCAT) will offer a
webinar on Thursday, November 29, to explain Adjusted Gross Revenue
Lite (AGR-Lite)— a unique type of federally subsided crop insurance
that holds great promise to serve the needs of smaller, diverse,
specialty crop, organic, and direct-market farmers.
While most insurance products are tied to a specific crop or
commodity, AGR-Lite is based on whole-farm revenue and allows farmers
who grow several specialty crops, high value crops (including
organic), or diverse crops and livestock products, to insure their
production based on the farm’s historic revenue.
The free, hour-long webinar, "Understanding Whole-Farm Insurance for
Specialized, Diversified, and Organic Farms" will explain how AGR-Lite
works and also will demonstrate NCAT’s new AGR-Lite Wizard assessment
tool. This tool allows farmers to evaluate the usefulness of whole-
farm revenue insurance for their own situation, and is available as a
free download from www.agrlitewizard.com, or by calling
1-800-346-9140.
Farmers who grow diverse specialty crops, organic crops, or who have
mixed crop/livestock operations, are especially encouraged to attend,
along with educators and other professionals who serve these growers.
The webinar will feature regionally appropriate examples from the
Southeast, although people from all parts of the country are welcome
and will find it useful. There will be time for attendees to ask
questions.
The webinar presenter will be Jeff Schahczenski, an Agricultural
Economist with NCAT. The webinar is funded by the USDA Risk Management
Agency.
The webinar will begin at 1 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time on Thursday,
November 29, 2012. It is funded by the USDA Risk Management Agency.
