Crop insurance is different by design. Private providers must offer coverage to any eligible farmer, regardless of risk, at fair rates set by the USDA. This creates an equitable system where companies compete on service, not risk selection. Learn more: https://t.co/QSK8EIxhem

For multi-generational farmers, every decision is long-term. After months of flooding, one CA grower said crop insurance makes it “a lot simpler... that we can continue on another year.” It provides the stability to think long-term. https://t.co/SCcgE5FlIM
