چکیده
All agricultural producers face recurring risks, significant among them being production risk. Many factors contribute to production risk, including adverse weather conditions such as drought or floods, fires, insects or pests, and disease.

Since the only way to completely avoid all production risks is to stop producing, successful farmers will seek for ways to mitigate these risks through various management techniques. One risk management tool available to crop producers is the purchase of crop insurance.
