Insuring Fairness for Family Farmers Act of 2023
This bill modifies how crop insurance agents are paid through "A&O subsidies" under federal crop insurance programs. It sets fixed minimum and maximum subsidy amounts per policyholder (with the max no more than 400% above the min) and ties payments to policy complexity (e.g., number of crops insured, policy types), not premium size. It adds 10% bonuses for policies covering farms under 180 acres, specialty crops not eligible for local insurance, or first-time buyers. The bill requires annual public reporting of subsidy data by state, crop, and policy type to increase transparency, while ensuring changes remain budget-neutral. It directly affects crop insurance agents (who receive payments) and farmers (especially small, specialty crop, or first-time buyers).
