What the agency says
The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) is amending its regulations to expand the availability of enterprise and optional units. FCIC is also clarifying double cropping requirements when another plan of insurance does not require records of acreage and production. FCIC is removing burdensome written agreement requirements and setting new yield guarantee limits for new breaking acreage. In this rule, FCIC is providing flexibility and clarifying rules regarding assignment of indemnity and streamlining and shortening good farming practice determinations. FCIC is also clarifying the timing and method of yield reductions for several perennial crops, and allowing sunburn damaged walnuts to be eligible for indemnity payments through quality adjustment. The changes to the crop insurance policies resulting from the amendments in this rule are applicable for the 2025 and succeeding crop years for crops with a contract change date on or after June 30, 2024. For all other crops, the changes to the policies made in this rule are applicable for the 2026 and succeeding crop years.
