Project Overview
After working very hard with staff from the RMA, a canola insurance program was begun in Minnesota. It gave producers a risk management tool to help them endure the uncertainties associated with canola production and secure farm loans because it gave them the option of insuring themselves against production losses on the basis of both yield and price. Our annual conference gave us the opportunity to update, educate and inform canola producers of the latest Risk Management news and program changes. Revenue Assurance, which helps protect growers against declines in price, yield or a combination of both factors, is available to canola growers starting in the 2004 crop year. At our annual conference we were successful in bringing together experts from the Risk Management Agency and private insurance companies to give growers the opportunity to learn how RA can enhance their current coverage options.
