USDA UPDATES CROP INSURANCE TO SUPPORT CONSERVATION AND CLIMATE MITIGATION EFFORTS
Dec. 2, 2021
Source: USDA news release
USDA is making updates to crop insurance to respond to the needs of agricultural producers, including organic producers, as well as to support conservation of natural resources on agricultural land.
Specifically, USDA's Risk Management Agency (RMA) is making a new provision permanent that allows producers to hay, graze or chop cover crops and still receive a full prevented planting payment. To accommodate the different farming practices across the country, RMA is also increasing flexibility related to the prevented planting "1 in 4" requirement, as well as aligning crop insurance definitions with USDA's National Organic Program.
