The Agricultural Management Assistance Act of 2026 significantly amends the Federal Crop Insurance Act to improve education and risk management assistance for agricultural producers. It expands the scope of educational outreach to include not only producers but also approved crop insurance providers , incorporating language translation services to enhance accessibility. This expanded education specifically aims to improve understanding of the whole farm diversified risk management insurance plan . Furthermore, the bill broadens the types of eligible risk management practices that can receive assistance, now including activities such as soil health improvements , sustainable water development, perennial crop establishment, and integration of livestock, particularly those that reduce financial loss due to regional impacts of climate change . It also supports financial risk mitigation through production or marketing diversification, including organic farming and food safety certification. The maximum payment limitation for assistance is increased from $50,000 annually to $200,000 per 5-year period , and annual funding for the program is substantially increased from $10 million to $30 million, with an additional $20 million authorized annually.
