Specifically, the FARMER Act would: Increase premium support for higher levels of crop insurance coverage, which will enhance affordability and reduce the need for ad-hoc disaster assistance; Improve the Supplemental Coverage Option (SCO) by increasing premium support and expanding the coverage level, providing producers with an additional level of protection, and; Direct the Risk Management Agency (RMA) to conduct a study to improve the effectiveness of SCO in large counties. “The current practice of providing ad hoc assistance after a disaster is both inefficient and costly,” said Rep. Fischbach. “Our farmers deserve better, and I am proud to support the FARMER Act, which bolsters crop insurance affordability while providing improved coverage. These reforms will lessen the need for ad-hoc assistance while improving producers’ fundamental risk management tool.”	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-04-07T21:01:11Z
