Save Our Small Farms Act of 2025

4/17/2025, 3:08 AM
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.
Bill 119 s 1271 aims to make changes to the Federal Agriculture Improvement and Reform Act of 1996 in order to help farmers transition from the noninsured crop assistance program to the whole farm revenue insurance plan. This bill is designed to provide support and assistance to producers as they make this transition, which can be a complex and challenging process.

The noninsured crop assistance program provides financial assistance to farmers who experience crop losses due to natural disasters or other unforeseen circumstances. The whole farm revenue insurance plan, on the other hand, offers insurance coverage for the entire farm's revenue, rather than just individual crops.

By amending the 1996 Act, this bill seeks to streamline the process for producers to switch from one program to the other, making it easier for them to access the support and resources they need. This transition is important for farmers who want to ensure the long-term sustainability and success of their operations. Overall, Bill 119 s 1271 is focused on helping farmers navigate the changing landscape of agricultural insurance and assistance programs, ultimately aiming to support their livelihoods and ensure the stability of the agricultural industry as a whole.
