Clay Burtrum, Farm Data Services, is breaking down risk management programs like Livestock Risk Protection; Pasture, Rangeland and Forage; and Weaned Calf Risk Protection. Clay walks through the differences between these programs and considerations for producers using these tools to protect their herd. There are options for everyone, and Clay encourages listeners to explore new programs for beginning farmers/ranchers and veterans.
