RMA also offers the Whole Farm Revenue Protection (WFRP) insurance program, which is the first Federal crop insurance program to be available in every state and county in the United States. WFRP provides a risk management safety net for all commodities on the farm under one insurance policy and is tailored for any farm with up to $8.5 million in insured revenue. This includes farms with specialty or organic commodities (both crops and livestock), or those marketing to local, regional, farm-identity preserved, specialty, or direct markets. WFRP provides protection against the loss of insured revenue due to an unavoidable natural cause of loss.
Federal crop insurance coverage for specialty crops has grown steadily over the past 15 years and the amount of insurance for specialty crops totaled more than $18 billion in 2019.
