Description:

Federally-subsidized crop and livestock insurance is an important risk management tool available to farmers and ranchers nationwide. However, some farmers may encounter barriers to purchasing a policy or filing a claim due discrimination on the basis of race and ethnicity, as well as other legally protected characteristics discussed in Episode 54: Addressing Discrimination in Crop and Livestock Insurance. When faced with this reality, farmers may decide that the best solution lies outside of the legal system. In this episode, Kate and Bonita explore real feedback from farmers on how choosing not to engage with a risk management tool can be a resilient decision.
