Ensure your income: USDA revenue insurance can protect your farm

Do you grow primarily direct for market and sell at prices better than wholesale?

Do you earn a premium in the marketplace for organic crops?

Do you have a diversified operation with several crops, possibly including livestock?

Do drought or other natural hazards affect your overall income but might not trigger individual crop loss thresholds?

Like most Local Hero farmers, you can probably answer yes to at least one of these questions. And that means that you are likely eligible for USDA revenue insurance, AGR-Lite.
