Livestock producers face constant market volatility, from shifting milk and cattle prices to tightening margins and unpredictable inputs. GreenStone helps producers prepare for uncertainty by providing its livestock insurance customers with a powerful suite of tools and expert resources designed to support informed decision making — available to both current dairy and livestock insurance customers and anyone applying for coverage.

“If you complete an application with GreenStone, these are all the things you get free access to without paying a single dollar,” said Ben Mahlich, senior vice president of insurance at GreenStone. “Some customers are paying over $10,000 a year for this same information—and ours is free.”

At the core of GreenStone’s offering is access to the Livestock Insurance Analyzer, a robust digital platform that allows producers to quickly analyze Dairy Revenue Protection (DRP) and Livestock Risk Protection (LRP) options, track endorsement purchases, and model customized “what if” scenarios based on price movements and coverage levels. Producers can also view historical pricing and monitor potential revenue floors, helping them align coverage decisions with their operational goals.

For added convenience, the Livestock Insurance Analyzer is available as a mobile app, enabling producers to manage insurance decisions anytime, anywhere. From requesting coverage and tracking endorsements to setting price alerts, the app streamlines the process and keeps critical information at your fingertips—whether you’re in the office or out in the barn.

“It’s more than just the analyzer and the app—it’s the market intelligence, the weekly update emails, the daily text alerts, and the industry updates,” Ben said.

GreenStone also provides free bi-weekly dairy marketing video calls covering topics like DRP and LRP, premium levels vs. risk, and key economic indicators for dairy and livestock prices. Cattle producers receive weekly cattle market video calls focused on price drivers, risk considerations, and near term market outlooks. These sessions help break down complex market dynamics and provide context for insurance and marketing decisions, offering real world insights that go beyond a static report.

Producers also receive bi weekly emails summarizing market trends and daily text updates with timely pricing information. Together, these communications help ensure producers are never caught off guard by sudden market shifts and can act quickly when opportunities arise.

The most valuable advantage GreenStone offers to dairy and livestock customers is access to dedicated livestock insurance agents who focus exclusively on dairy and livestock risk management. These specialists work one on one with producers to explain coverage options, help align insurance strategies with business goals, and provide ongoing support throughout the year. Through brokerage partnerships, GreenStone can also extend additional market access and pricing insight, giving producers more flexibility and choice. In today’s fast-moving dairy and livestock markets, having insurance coverage is essential—but having the right tools and expert support can make all the difference. With its combination of advanced digital tools, expert market intelligence, and specialized agents, GreenStone empowers producers to manage risk with confidence.
