Mid-South Oilseed Double Cropping Study Act of 2025

This bill tells the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation to study whether certain oilseed crops—rapeseed and canola that need cold weather to flower—can be added to crop insurance for double-cropping or rotational systems. These crops would be planted and harvested on land that would otherwise sit idle between main crops. The study must talk with farmers and other stakeholders and look at how adding these crops would affect insurance availability and cost, plus any benefits to risk management, soil health, biodiversity, and farm profits .

• The agency can do the research itself or hire qualified experts to do it. The text does not set a deadline in the section provided .

Key points:

• Who is affected: Farmers who grow, or want to grow, rapeseed or canola as part of double or rotational cropping; crop insurers and farm stakeholders consulted in the study .
• What changes: A required study on including these oilseeds in crop insurance for double/rotational cropping, examining costs, availability, and potential benefits to soil, biodiversity, and profitability .
• When: After the bill becomes law; no specific timeline is stated in the provided text .
