Insurance Basics That Keep You Farming - RDA 508
About this episode
The episode discusses insurance tools for farmers to manage risks associated with market swings and weather variability.
Commodity prices are squeezing margins, and “hoping for the best” isn’t a business plan. In Episode 508, the team sits down with Clay Burtrum of Farm Data Services at the Central Oklahoma Cattle Conference to talk real-world risk—market swings, weather variability, and the insurance tools producers are using to stay bankable. Clay breaks down Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) in plain language, shares what producers commonly misunderstand (including how coverage works and what you must document), and explains why deadlines on the crop side can sneak up fast—especially the March 15 sales closing date in our area. If you’re running wheat, cattle, pasture, or all of the above, this episode is a practical roadmap for protecting margins in a year where every decision counts.
