TEMP Act of 2023

This bill directs the USDA to research and develop weather-indexed insurance for crops vulnerable to frost or cold weather events. It specifically targets farmers growing crops like tomatoes, citrus, berries, and sugarcane by requiring the agency to evaluate risk management tools for low-frequency weather disasters. The research must result in a potential policy covering either production or revenue losses from these events, with a report due to Congress within one year. The bill does not create new insurance immediately but sets a research path for future coverage options.
