Protecting Your Farm Against Unpredictable Weather
In today’s agricultural landscape, extreme weather events are more frequent and severe than ever.
Farmers face the rising challenges of managing their farms amid unpredictable weather, including droughts, storms, and other climate-related events.
These shifts present significant operational and financial risks, requiring innovative solutions for sustainable farm management.
Allied Ranchers Insurance is committed to helping farmers tackle these challenges with tailored insurance solutions that offer robust protection against severe weather and the impact of climate change.
The Impact of Unpredictable Weather on Farms
Types of Insurance Coverage to Protect Your Farm from Weather Risks
Multi-Peril Crop Insurance (MPCI)
Multi-Peril Crop Insurance covers a variety of climate-related production threats, protecting farmers from the negative effects of drought, frost, extreme precipitation, and excess moisture. MPCI is a primary insurance form that farmers can rely on to manage multiple risks within one comprehensive policy.
Pasture, Rangeland, Forage (PRF) Insurance
PRF Insurance provides essential support to farmers whose pasturelands face extreme weather, especially insufficient rainfall. With PRF coverage, farmers can maintain productive pasturelands, reducing dependence on external feed and bolstering household food security for farmers in villages who rely heavily on local resources.
Crop Revenue Insurance
Revenue-based insurance provides financial stability by protecting against yield losses and price fluctuations in the agricultural market. Combined with climate forecasting tools, Crop Revenue Insurance helps ensure that farmers receive an insurance payout if low yields or market prices threaten their financial stability.

Best Practices to Prepare for Extreme Weather Events on Farms
Climate-Smart Farming Methods
Farmers can benefit from adopting climate-smart methods, such as crop rotation, soil health improvements, and efficient water management techniques. These practices help mitigate the impact of drought, soil erosion, and warmer temperatures, improving land and water availability for long-term resilience.
Implementing Protective Infrastructure
The addition of protective infrastructure, like frost protection tools, drainage systems, and solar panels, helps manage risks related to severe weather. Farmers can reduce their overall vulnerability and prevent agricultural land losses by investing in these measures.
Drought Management Strategies
Drought is a growing concern for farms worldwide. Water conservation, soil health maintenance, and crop rotation are effective drought management strategies that allow farmers to maintain agricultural production even during prolonged dry periods.
Flood Mitigation
Farmers can enhance their drainage systems and construct barriers, like levees or berms, to combat heavy precipitation and flooding. These measures prevent soil erosion, minimize crop loss, and support sustainable farming practices that strengthen the farm’s long-term viability.
