Thanks @GOPMajorityWhip and @HouseAgGOP for all the hard work that went into PASSING the 2026 Farm Bill out of the House. We are proud to #ProtectCropInsurance with you!

This week, we hosted a Farm Bill Roundtable with members, stakeholders, and farmers to discuss the pressing need for updated farm legislation, ending with @HouseGOP passing the Farm Bill.

Our farm and rural families are the backbone of our country, and it’s high time Congress acts to bring these folks much-needed relief.

Farmers do not buy crop insurance for a payout.

They buy it as a safety net so they can recover from disaster and keep farming. That stability matters far beyond the farm.

How the Quality Loss Option (QL) Works

When QL is elected, you can substitute your pre-quality adjusted production amount for both the 2021 and 2023 crop years. In this example, the QL increases your actual production history (APH) from 80 bushels/acre to 100 bushels/acre.

Do you produce specialty crops such as fruits, vegetables or tree nuts on your farm? Many of them are eligible for individual crop insurance policies or you can protect your entire operation through the Whole Farm Revenue Protection insurance program. https://t.co/09Q2FoXKq0

While farmers are naturally resilient, crop insurance plays a key role when disasters strike.🌱🚜

From cotton to pecans, when hurricanes and severe weather hit, Georgia producers relied on crop insurance to recover losses and keep their operations running. #ProtectCropInsurance

More than $200 billion of America's ag commodities are covered by Federal crop insurance this year. Crop insurance provides multiple options for farmers and ranchers to choose from. Contact an insurance agent to see which plan is right for you. https://t.co/CIqgKWvh6t
