The average risk management importance scores reported in table 3 clearly show that insurance users attribute greater importance to risk management than nonusers, and that the overall scores are highest for revenue insurance, intermediate for yield insurance, and lowest for hail insurance. The patterns of average use of these risk management options largely parallel the importance scores. Among the thirteen risk management options, revenue insurance was ranked second in importance by revenue insurance users, whereas yield insurance ranked fifth in importance by yield
insurance users. Insurance users in general ranked revenue and yield insurance fifth and seventh, respectively, in importance. Over all groups, government price, and income support programs received the top risk management rating.
