Protect Your Crops through the USDA Risk Management Agency

Crop Insurance For American Farmers and Ranchers

The United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Risk Management Agency (RMA), created in 1996, serves America’s agricultural producers through effective, market-based risk management tools to strengthen the economic stability of agricultural producers and rural communities. RMA is committed to increasing the availability and effectiveness of Federal crop insurance as a risk management tool. RMA manages the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) to provide innovative crop insurance products to America’s farmers and ranchers. Approved Insurance Providers (AIP) sell and service Federal crop insurance policies in every state and in Puerto Rico through a public-private partnership with RMA. RMA backs the AIPs who share the risks associated with catastrophic losses due to major weather events.

On Thursday, April 18, USDA RMA hosted a webinar with the Strengthening Cooperative Communities project at NCBA CLUSA. To rewatch the presentation and view the presentation slides, click below.
