N Rate Risk Protection Program
With input costs rising and cutting into your farm's profits, it's time to look at reducing reliance on purchased inputs. With agronomic consulting from PFI staff and a risk protection, PFI can help you reduce nitrogen applications on your farm – saving you money and increasing your farm's resiliency.
Farmers who are new to cutting inputs and farmers who've reduced nitrogen rates previously are both eligible for the program.
