Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

$600,000 cap for targeted producers

If enacted, certain producers would have a $600,000 payment cap. The cap would apply to limited-resource, beginning, or socially disadvantaged producers, veteran farmers or ranchers, and producers using the streamlined revenue-based option.

Higher coverage level for NAP claims

If enacted, the bill would change a coverage number in the NAP rules from 65% to 100%. That textual change would raise the coverage metric used by the program for the cited provision.

New on-ramp to whole-farm insurance

If enacted, the bill would create a voluntary, revenue-based NAP on-ramp to Whole Farm Revenue Insurance. You could use IRS Schedule F as revenue history and the agency would share that data with the crop insurance corporation. The plan would cut paperwork for diverse and small producers, allow two acreage reports per year, and require outreach to limited-resource, beginning, socially disadvantaged, and veteran farmers. The Secretary must write rules for the discounts within 90 days after enactment.

Faster loss notices and remote appraisals

If enacted, producers of hand-harvested or quickly spoiling crops could send loss evidence any time after the 120-hour deadline and still get NAP help. The Secretary could allow remote appraisals using time-stamped photos, drone footage, or trained field staff when adjusters are not available within 72 hours. Field staff would need NAP appraisal training.
