Small Farm Support: Streamlined Crop Insurance and Discounts

This act aims to simplify access to crop insurance for small farms by offering streamlined procedures and premium discounts. This helps farmers better protect themselves against losses, leading to greater financial stability and food security. The changes are designed to facilitate a voluntary transition from the noninsured crop assistance program to a whole farm revenue insurance plan.
Key points
Simplified data reporting process for small and diverse farms, including urban ones, reducing paperwork.
Premium discounts (25% to 50%) for farmers transitioning to the whole farm revenue insurance plan.
More flexible loss reporting for hand-harvested or rapidly deteriorating crops and alternative loss appraisal methods (e.g., photos, drones) when an adjuster is unavailable.
Increased financial assistance limit to $600,000 for limited resource, beginning, socially disadvantaged, and veteran farmers.
Enhanced outreach to promote the assistance program, especially to the most vulnerable farmers, through collaboration with agricultural support organizations.
