Get the most from your USDA insurance coverage by combining it with StoneX’s proven risk management strategies.

Insurance tools and risk management strategies

Leveraging USDA dairy and livestock insurance programs as a part of a larger risk management strategy helps producers protect revenue, lock in profits and potentially capture upside benefits. During times of high input costs and market price volatility, managing risk is critical. StoneX helps dairy farms and livestock operations effectively manage risk through three powerful insurance tools: Livestock Risk Protection, Dairy Revenue Protection, and Livestock Gross Margin.

Livestock Risk Protection

Customizable risk protection for fed cattle, feeder cattle and swine

Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) enables livestock operations to purchase cattle insurance coverage against adverse changes in the market prices of their cattle – helping them to effectively manage financial performance and profitability.

StoneX’s price-risk management professionals work with you to optimize your LRP coverage, to fit your business operations and needs.

Dairy Revenue Protection

Customizable risk management for farms of all sizes

Dairy Revenue Protection (DRP) enables dairy farmers to protect revenue from adverse changes in milk prices, allowing them to lock in profits and protect from financial loss. DRP offers a unique opportunity for dairy farmers to take advantage of current market conditions by working with one of StoneX’s knowledgeable risk management consultants to create a plan that fits any operation.

Livestock gross margin

Livestock Gross Margin (LGM) is a federally reinsured livestock product that provides coverage against the loss of gross or finishing margins due to declining livestock prices or rising feed costs. LGM is determined using futures and options prices with the objective of identifying expected gross margin and actual gross margin. StoneX’s risk management consultants work closely with your business to track these price fluctuations to maximize profits.
