Coverage may not be available in instances of a news report, announcement, insufficient pricing or rating information, or other event that occurs during or after trading hours that is believed by the Secretary of Agriculture, Manager of the Risk Management Agency, or other designated staff of the Risk Management Agency, to result in market conditions significantly different than those used to rate the LRP program. In these cases, coverage will no longer be offered for sale on the RMA Website. LRP sales will resume, when coverage prices and rates become available on the website.
