Summary of Bill S 1271

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.

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.
