Whole Farm Revenue Protection (WFRP)

Whole Farm Revenue Protection, or WFRP, insures all farm commodities under one policy. Coverage levels range from 50-80% depending on the needs of the farm. WFRP is designed with diverse operations in mind; farms with diverse commodities have lower premiums under WFRP.  So, WFRP is a particularly good option for farmers with diverse commodities, specialized commodities, or those who sell directly to wholesale markets.  

Premium subsidies are calculated based on farm diversity. For example, a producer with three commodities will have a larger portion of their premium paid for by the government than a producer with one or two commodities.
