S 2104 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to amend the Federal Crop Insurance Act to allow for the separation of enterprise units by continuous and fallow cropping systems.

This bill changes how crop insurance is structured under the Federal Crop Insurance Act. It allows farmers to have separate insurance coverage units for land used in "fallow" systems (land left unplanted) versus "continuous" systems (land planted with crops each year). Starting with the 2024 crop year, the federal crop insurance program must offer these distinct units in all counties. This directly affects farmers managing land under these different cropping practices, enabling tailored insurance coverage based on their specific farming methods.
