PM-16-013: Livestock Underwriting Capacity - Whole-Farm Revenue Policy
Background
Changes for the 2016 crop year to the Whole Farm Revenue Protection (WFRP) plan of insurance included removal of the 35 percent of expected revenue limitation for animals and animal products (livestock) resulting in greater access to WFRP for these producers. Approved Insurance Providers (AIPs) and agents are reminded the WFRP policy requires underwriting capacity to be available for animals and animal products before an application may be accepted. WFRP uses the fund associated with conducting livestock programs, which is $20,000,000 each Fiscal Year.
