As crop insurance has grown to be the most important risk management tool for farmers, it has also become a larger target for critics of farm policy. CIRB spearheads a broad and diverse coalition of farm, lending, ag input, conservation, and crop insurance and reinsurance organizations that work together to protect the program from legislative threats.
Over the years, the Crop Insurance Coalition has banded together to oppose harmful policy proposals including those that would reduce participation in crop insurance, make insurance more expensive for farmers, or harm private-sector delivery.
Moving forward, the Crop Insurance Coalition will continue to collaborate to build relationships with lawmakers and educate about the critical role that crop insurance plays in protecting our nation’s food security. CIRB provides ongoing information sharing, legislative analysis, and communications support to Crop Insurance Coalition partners.
