More disaster help for grazing crops

If enacted, you could get Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) coverage for crops and grasses used for grazing. This would help ranchers and livestock producers who grow forage or pasture. The bill would remove the current statutory exclusion that barred grazing crops. The Agriculture Secretary would have to issue regulations within 90 days after enactment. Actual coverage and payments would depend on those rules and on having eligible losses.
