Resumption of Sales for Livestock Risk Protection Lamb (LRP-Lamb)

The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation Board of Directors approved a number of program changes to the LRP-Lamb plan of insurance including: 1. A revised price prediction model;

2. Revised definition of “Insured Lambs”;

3. Removal of the 20-week endorsement;

4. Added language to prevent assignment of indemnities to businesses buying, selling, marketing, or packing lambs;

5. Changes to the daily and annual sales limit; and

6. Modifications to how the actual ending values are calculated.

LRP-Lamb sales will resume on May 4, 2015. Producers interested in purchasing an LRPLamb Specific Coverage Endorsement must contact a crop insurance agent and complete an application that will be submitted through an Approved Insurance Provider (AIP). A list of crop insurance agents authorized by AIPs to write livestock insurance is on the Risk Management Agency (RMA) website. The LRP-Lamb program materials can be found on the RMA website Livestock page. DISPOSAL DATE: December 31, 2015.
