CARTHAGE, Mo. (RFD News) — Ongoing market volatility and geopolitical uncertainty continue keeping risk management top of mind for many producers across agriculture.
Jake Charleston with Specialty Risk Insurance Agency joined us on Tuesday’s Market Day Report to discuss recent movement in the futures markets and what it could mean for producers heading into the new crop year.
In his interview with RFD News, Charleston shared his outlook on current market conditions and potential updates that could affect Livestock Risk Protection (LRP).
“Just felt like we’re running in place here — which way is it going to go? Up? Down?” Charleson says. “It started to get a little better, then kind of got flat, so kind of making me nervous which way this thing could be going. Hopefully it goes back up.”
He also highlighted key deadlines producers should monitor and why some operations may consider reevaluating their insurance coverage and agency relationships as market conditions continue shifting.
