N Rate Risk Protection Program

2024 N Rate Risk Protection Program Is Closed

Stay tuned for its re-opening in September!

This program offers a per acre payment if a yield loss occurs from reducing your typical nitrogen rate on corn acres. Farmers who are new to cutting inputs and farmers who’ve reduced nitrogen rates previously are both eligible for the program.

Details for next year’s program are being finalized, but please indicate your interest by filling out the form, and we’ll notify you when the program opens.
