Increased Crop Insurance Subsidies and Expanded Risk Protection for Farmers.
This act increases federal financial support (subsidies) for farmers utilizing specific crop insurance plans, particularly those based on enterprise or whole farm units. These changes lower insurance costs for producers and simultaneously expand the scope of coverage available under the Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO). This translates to reduced expenses and greater financial security for farms facing potential losses.
Key points
Increased federal premium subsidies for farmers choosing revenue or yield protection plans based on enterprise units.
Significant boost in the subsidy for the Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO) from 65% to 80% of the premium cost.
Expansion of the coverage range available under SCO, allowing farmers to insure a larger portion of potential losses (maximum coverage level increases to 90%).
