USDA updates crop insurance for specialty crops & others

USDA is updating risk management programs for specialty crop and small-scale producers.

The Whole-Farm Revenue Protection Program has doubled its maximum insurable revenue to $17 million.  The Micro Farm Program has increased its revenue limit to $350,000, up from $100,000.

The agency says the updates have been made in direct response to feedback from producers and the need to expand limits.

The updates will start in the 2023 crop year.
