Save Our Small Farms Act of 2025
The Save Our Small Farms Act of 2025 amends the Noninsured Crop Assistance Program (NCAP) to better support small-scale and diverse farming operations, including urban, small-scale, and direct-to-consumer producers. It creates a streamlined application process with reduced paperwork, offers 25% to 50% premium discounts for transitioning to whole farm revenue insurance, and extends the deadline for reporting crop losses (for hand-harvested crops) beyond 120 hours. The bill also allows remote appraisals using drone footage or photos when loss adjusters are unavailable and increases payment limits to 100% for limited resource, beginning, socially disadvantaged, and veteran farmers. Additionally, it requires USDA outreach to these groups through extension offices and state agricultural departments.
