LRP insurance continues to fill an important role in protecting Missouri livestock producers from the risk of declining livestock prices.
RMA operates each program under a specific crop year and the 2022 crop year for LRP ended on June 30. The new crop year provides a great opportunity to reflect on the continued growth of insured livestock in Missouri over the last several years.
