In fact, crop insurers have contributed more than most other industries to the goal of deficit reduction in recent years. However, the President&#8217;s plan to make further reductions to the crop insurance system does not serve the best interests of America&#8217;s farmers or the country&#8217;s food security.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The plan is devastating to those in agriculture, particularly in a year that has seen extremely volatile commodity prices and weather events &#8212; from droughts in Texas and Oklahoma to floods in the Northeast and Midwest.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The White House calls for further streamlining of the Federal Crop Insurance Program, which has already contributed more than $4 billion towards deficit reduction, and $12 billion overall in spending reductions since 2008.
