The Kansas State University Department of Agricultural Economics is hosting a webinar on annual forage insurance June 12 from noon to 1:00 p.m. This webinar will introduce the fundamentals of annual forage insurance and provide examples of how it can be used as part of a risk management strategy in the face of water shortages, including drought or restricted irrigation.
Annual forage insurance provides payments to producers of annual crops grown for forage or feed when rainfall falls below average levels. It may be especially useful when traditional multi-peril crop insurance is unavailable or not well-suited to a producer’s needs. Although this insurance is similar to pasture, rangeland and forage insurance, there are key differences, the most notable being coverage intervals are limited to the crop’s growing season. The deadline to purchase annual forage insurance for crops planted from August 2025 through July 2026 is July 15, 2025.
The webinar is free, but registration is required and can be completed by clicking here. For producers unable to participate in the live meeting, a recording of the webinar will be available afterward.
