Eligible States
There are currently 37 states, including Nebraska, where LRP can be purchased (see below). It is important to note that the livestock to be insured must be located in one of the participating states. There is no requirement of where the owner of the livestock resides. Also of importance is that the agent who sells insurance for a particular group of livestock must be licensed in the state where the livestock are located.
Note: LRP has been expanded to include lamb operations. Available through
USDA-RMA, LRP for Lamb provides protection against unexpected lamb
price declines. The insurance program is currently available to
livestock producers who own lambs in any of the following 27 states:
Arizona, California, Colorado, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, Nevada,
North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota,
Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. For
more information about LRP for Lamb, visit USDA-RMA's website or the American Sheep Industry
Association's website.
