The U.S. Department of Agriculture is rolling out several updates to livestock insurance programs beginning with the 2027 crop year, expanding coverage options and adjusting rules for cattle and dairy producers.
The USDA’s Risk Management Agency announced changes to Livestock Risk Protection, Livestock Gross Margin, and Dairy Revenue Protection after approval from the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation Board of Directors.
“These updates expand coverage options, update eligibility definitions and strengthen program consistency across RMA’s livestock portfolio,” said RMA Administrator Pat Swanson in the announcement.
