AN INSURANCE PRODUCT DESIGNED TO PROTECT AGAINST A DECREASE IN PRICE.

 

The program provides a Single-Peril price risk protection by paying livestock producers if a national cash price index falls below an insured coverage price level. The coverage price is selected by the producer. If the cash price index is below the coverage price at the end of the policy period, an indemnity equal to the difference is paid to the producer.
