Program Overview
AgriStability is designed to provide financial support for farm operations facing large margin declines caused by production loss, increased costs and/or declining market conditions. Coverage is for the whole farm and is personalized based on each farm’s history.
Margins
The AgriStability Program uses margins to determine if you are eligible for benefit payments. AgriStability calculates a program year margin and compares this to the reference margin for your farming operation.

Learn moreContract Buy-Outs
Due to the reduced production from the hot and dry conditions, you may be concerned about being able to fulfill your commitments on forward contracts. In those situations where you will not have enough production to meet forward contract requirements, the cost of having to buy-out the shortfall with the grain company can be included in your AgriStability expense.
