Expands and improves federal farm risk protection by simplifying the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program for small, specialty, and underserved producers, adding a revenue-based option with an “on‑ramp” to whole‑farm insurance, allowing later loss notices for some crops, enabling remote appraisals, adjusting coverage and premium rules, and requiring targeted outreach.
Strengthens Whole‑Farm Revenue Protection with participation targets, faster and clearer application decisions (including appeal rights), and new tools like an agent‑finder and public pricing library. It also directs development of a nationwide weather‑index insurance option with quick payouts and less paperwork, after stakeholder input and a public report within one year.
Referred to the House Committee on Agriculture.
