Farmers could get new insurance to protect against frost and cold weather damage.
Farmers could get new insurance to protect against damage from frost and cold weather. This bill would ask a government agency to study and create a new type of insurance for crops such as tomatoes, peppers, and citrus. This study aims to help farmers get back on their feet after cold weather harms their crops.
Today, there is no specific rule for the government to study new insurance options for farmers against frost or cold weather damage. If this bill becomes law, the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation would research and develop a new, nationally available insurance policy. This policy would cover crops like tomatoes and citrus that are vulnerable to cold. They would also need to report their findings to Congress within one year.
