RAMP

For the past week I've been talking to many of my customers and also getting the word out about a program that looks to be popular this year.  It's called RAMP.  Revenue Accelerator Maximum Protection.   Essentially what it allows producers to do is insure up to 95% of your APH.  One of the many reasons I like the program is because of the fact that we have been growing some pretty good crops over the past few years.  That in turn has raised farmers APH's quite a bit.  In many cases I am seeing APH's between 185 and 200 bushels per acre on corn and 48-55 bushels per acre on soybeans.   That is why I like RAMP.  In many cases farmers have the opportunity to guarantee themselves 180-190 bushel corn and 48-52 bushel beans in 2017.  Another thing I like about is is the fact that you can choose an enterprise MPCI policy and the add on RAMP policy can be on an optional basis.  If RAMP is something you're interested in I wouldn't waste any time.  The company offering it has put a cap on the amount of premium that can be written and once that cap is met it will no longer be offered.  If you're interested, give me a call and I would be happy to go over it with you.
