Whole Farm Revenue Protection Program Improvement Act of 2023
This bill amends the Federal Crop Insurance Act to improve the Whole Farm Revenue Protection Program for farmers. It directly affects producers who use this insurance, expanding eligible marketing methods to include direct-to-consumer sales, local/regionally sold products, and identity-preserved crops. Key changes include requiring crop rotation (replacing "may" with "shall"), allowing IRS Schedule F tax forms as sufficient revenue proof (with limited exceptions), reducing paperwork for farms with $1 million+ gross revenue, and expanding discounts to cover at least 10 commodities. The bill also sets a $500,000 limit on revenue growth adjustments and includes provisions to better account for disaster payments in revenue calculations.
