Summary

Starting with the 2015 crop year, the Risk Management Agency and the Corporation must offer a revenue crop insurance program for peanut growers. The price used for that insurance will be the Rotterdam price index for peanuts or another price the Secretary picks, adjusted to match U.S. farmer‑stock peanut prices. The Agency and the Corporation may change that price to fix price distortions. Any change must be done openly, and they must send a report explaining the reasons to the Committee on Agriculture of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry of the Senate.
