How Technology is Impacting Agricultural Risk Management

In today’s fast-evolving agricultural landscape, technology is no longer a luxury — it’s a necessity. Producers are navigating increasingly unpredictable weather, market volatility, and rising operational costs, all while trying to make informed decisions that protect their livelihoods. At AgRisk Advisors, we believe that the right tools and data can empower producers to take control of their risk management strategies.

Here are a few examples of how technology is helping us revolutionize risk management for the ag industry — and how producers are already benefiting from these resources.

1. Online Customer Portal: Real-Time Data and Resources at Your Fingertips

Our secure online portal gives our clients 24/7 access to critical information, putting the power of real-time data in their hands. Through the portal, producers can:

• View interval reports to monitor coverage and performance.
• Access policy details and important dates.
• View weather resources such as our AgRisk Almanac.

This user-friendly platform brings clarity and confidence to your decision-making process — whether you’re at your desk or in the cab of a tractor.

2. Livestock Guard: Smarter LRP Decisions

One of the most exciting additions to our technology toolbox is Livestock Guard, our new program designed to simplify the Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) process.

Livestock Guard provides producers with:

• Real-time LRP rate updates, helping them lock in protection when it matters most.
• Custom notifications based on your specific coverage goals.
• A simplified interface to compare potential LRP endorsements side-by-side.

In a volatile market, Livestock Guard helps take the guesswork out of LRP.

3. RangeCalc: Learning From the Past to Plan for the Future

Our proprietary Range Calc tool gives producers insight into past performance data — and that can help influence educational decision making backed by data. By looking at historical rainfall indices and claim data, producers can:

• Analyze up to 70 year rainfall trends.
• Make more informed decisions about coverage levels and intervals.
• Forecast how changes in weather or policy could impact future returns.

RangeCalc bridges the gap between past results and future planning, giving you a data-backed strategy for success.

4. Weather Resources: Staying One Step Ahead

Mother nature plays a huge role in agricultural risk — and having access to reliable weather data is critical. Through our platform, we provide clients with:

• Interactive weather tools and forecasts such as our AgRisk Almanac, Weekly Wednesday Weather Blast, podcasts, & more!
• Access to rainfall index maps tied directly to Pasture, Rangeland, Forage (PRF) policies.
• Seasonal outlooks that help producers prepare for what’s ahead.

When you understand the weather, you can manage its risks more effectively — and our tools make that easier than ever.
