This legislation directs the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation to conduct research and development for a new single index insurance policy . This innovative policy aims to protect farmers from agricultural income losses resulting from a range of severe weather conditions, including high winds, excessive moisture, extreme heat, drought, and wildfire. The policy is designed to be available across all 50 states and U.S. territories, covering most crops and commodities while excluding timber, forest products, and certain animals. Key features of the proposed policy include an option for farmers to adjust their coverage levels, allowing them to "buy-up" or "buy-down" based on their farm's adjusted gross income. The research and development process will prioritize features such as comprehensive coverage for all crops, inclusion of on-farm activity losses, and expedited payments within 30 days of a weather event. Special consideration will be given to small-scale farms with lower adjusted gross incomes and underserved producers , with an emphasis on reducing paperwork requirements to simplify access to this insurance.
