PRF is a nationwide program that protects perennial (not planted yearly) grazing or hay land for drought conditions. The PRF program has been very beneficial to the clients that have enrolled in the program. It helps producers to recoup input cost when we experience times of need due to shortage of rainfall.

Annual forage operates in within the same principles as the PRF program does. The only difference is that annual forage covers forage’s that are planted (not perennial) to be used as feed or fodder by livestock.So that it is specific to the growing season, the two month intervals are orientated to cover the life of a planted feed source. Resulting in a 6 month coverage period.
