Research Mandated for New Frost and Cold Weather Crop Insurance.

This law requires the government to research and develop a new type of crop insurance specifically designed to protect farmers against losses caused by frost or severe cold weather. The goal is to create a nationally available, index-based policy that helps producers of vulnerable crops (like citrus, strawberries, and tomatoes) financially recover from catastrophic production or revenue losses due to cold events. This measure aims to increase stability in the agricultural sector.
