As the Farm Bill debate heats up, some farm policy opponents are lobbying to exclude people from crop insurance, which would harm farmers and taxpayers alike. That\u2019s according to a new video<\/a> released today by National Crop Insurance Services \u2013 the second video in its \u201cRisk Management Minute\u201d series.<\/p>\n

Legislative proposals to apply an income means test to crop insurance participation could remove many farmers who have large farms, grow high-valued crops or work off-farm jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoing so would only increase insurance costs for smaller farmers,\u201d the video explains. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of like preventing the safest drivers from getting auto insurance. The result would be an expensive wreck for farmers and taxpayers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The idea of shared risk \u2013 where premiums rise and fall with participation levels \u2013 is not unique to agriculture.<\/p>\n

\u201cCrop insurance is like other kinds of insurance,\u201d according to the video. \u201cThe more people it covers, the more people there are to shoulder risk. And the more people there are to shoulder risk, the cheaper coverage is for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Things get riskier and more expensive when participants are removed \u2013 especially insureds who carry less risk like the farms that are being targeted by farm critics.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongress made crop insurance a cornerstone of U.S. farm policy for a reason. It works. It\u2019s efficient. It saves money. And it\u2019s popular,\u201d the video concludes. \u201cNo wonder so many farmers are saying \u2018do no harm\u2019 to crop insurance in the Farm Bill.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
