The "Farm Board Act of 2025" proposes an amendment to the Federal Crop Insurance Act, specifically targeting the composition of the Board of Directors of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation . The primary goal is to ensure broader representation of agricultural producers on this crucial board. Currently, the Act requires at least one specialty crop producer on the Board. This bill retains that requirement but adds a new mandate: beginning May 1, 2027, the Board must also include at least one producer who is actively engaged in both livestock production and crop production of agricultural commodities. This change aims to bring diverse agricultural perspectives to the Corporation's governance.
