It\u2019s very clear every commodity wants to have crop insurance,\u201d said American Farm Bureau Federation\u2019s Mary Kay Thatcher.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur farming members are by and large very happy with the crop insurance options in front of them,\u201d added Bev Paul of the American Soybean Association.<\/p>\n<p>The message was consistent with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.farmpolicyfacts.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Presidents-Budget-Letter-FY16.pdf\">letter<\/a> that more than 30 groups sent to Congressional committees recently expressing disappointment in the president\u2019s budget proposal that undermined crop insurance. The groups encouraged Congressional leaders to look elsewhere when they prepare their own budget plans.<\/p>\n<p>In the letter, they explained \u201cbudget levels currently in place for crop insurance ensure the affordability and availability of risk protection, while maintaining the viability of private-sector delivery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, these three tenets of affordability, availability and viability were mentioned as the key to keeping the crop insurance system working effectively and efficiently. Another takeaway from panelists was the importance of sticking together and building alliances to make sure crop insurers can continue to offer a variety of options to farmers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur focus in the years to come will be defending what we have,\u201d said Robbie Minnich of the National Cotton Council of America.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Representatives of several Washington, D.C.-based agricultural groups voiced their strong support for crop insurance during the recent annual meeting of the American Association of Crop Insurers and the National Crop [&hellip;]<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":5896,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5889","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-farmers","category-whats-cropping-up"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
