Updated: Mar 25, 2025

Summary

This bill, titled the "Quality Loss Adjustment Improvement for Farmers Act," aims to strengthen the Federal Crop Insurance Act's provisions for quality loss adjustment coverage. It mandates that the Corporation, likely the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, contract for a comprehensive review of its quality loss adjustment procedures every five years, beginning in 2025. These reviews must include significant engagement from regionally diverse industry stakeholders for all agricultural commodities offering quality loss adjustments. Upon completion of each review, a detailed report must be submitted to relevant congressional committees, outlining findings, any procedural changes made, and the specifics of stakeholder involvement. Furthermore, the legislation introduces a new requirement concerning regional discount factors for soybeans . In the event of a disaster declaration by the Secretary or President, or the occurrence of a salvage market for soybeans in a State or region, the Corporation is directed to establish specific State or regional discount factors. These factors are intended to accurately reflect the average quality discounts applied to local or regional soybean market prices. Any such established discount factors must also be incorporated into the periodic reviews and subsequent reports to Congress.
