These last few years, many of us have gained an even deeper appreciation for America’s farmers and ranchers – and the daily challenges they face to feed, fuel, and clothe America’s growing population.
Farmers are key to maintaining our food security, which is why we work hard to ensure that all farmers have the tools they need to manage their unique risks. Crop insurance provides an invaluable safety net for farmers in all 50 states – no matter the farm size or crop grown.
In fact, crop insurance today protects more than 90% of America’s planted acres.
