But America\u2019s farmers and ranchers are an integral part of our everyday lives, working to feed and clothe the nation. In fact, each American farmer feeds more than 165 people.<\/p>\n<p>Today is National Agriculture Day, a day to celebrate the American farmer and recognize the incredible contributions that our food and fiber producers make every single day.<\/p>\n<p>Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue has instituted an informal motto at the USDA: \u201cDo Right and Feed Everyone.\u201d The crop insurance industry is proud to support the farmers who devote themselves to this important mission.<\/p>\n<p>America\u2019s farmers are the most efficient in the world, but they can\u2019t always predict what the future holds. Crop insurance helps protect our farmers and ranchers, ensuring that they can keep producing a safe and affordable supply of food for those here at home and abroad.<\/p>\n<p>The federal crop insurance program protected a record 334 million acres in 2018. That\u2019s more than 90% of America\u2019s farmland. With insurance available for more than 130 different crops and affordable policies for operations both large and small, crop insurance provides an important safety net for farms across the country.<\/p>\n<p>Jim Korin, chairman of National Crop Insurance Services (NCIS) and president of NAU Country Insurance Company, recently said it best: \u201cWe must remember our purpose: To provide exceptional coverage and service to farmers and ranchers to help them do what they do best\u2026feed and clothe the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thank you to all of America\u2019s farmers and ranchers.
