USDA adds dry beans, peas, and wheat to crop insurance policies

The USDA's Risk Management Agency (RMA) is making changes to strengthen and increase the accessibility of crop insurance for producers who plant dry beans, dry peas, and small grains, starting in 2022. These changes will also benefit organic producers and veteran farm families, with the options aimed at strengthening coverage, increasing consistency and clarity. The changes will be detailed in three Final Rules, which will be posted at the end of the month.
