HR 2858 United States House · 119th Congress

Winter Canola Study Act of 2025

This bill directs the federal crop insurance corporation to study whether winter canola (a cold-weather oilseed crop) should be included in insurance policies covering double-cropping and rotational farming systems. It requires research on how adding winter canola would affect insurance availability, cost, and risk management benefits for farmers, including soil health and profitability. The bill also allocates $10 million annually (2024-2029) through the National Institute of Food and Agriculture to study supplemental crops like winter canola. The study results will be reported to Congress within 13 months, but the bill itself does not change current insurance rules or directly affect farmers until after the research is complete.
