Crop Insurance for Future Farmers Act of 2023
This bill increases crop insurance cost assistance for beginning farmers and ranchers under the Federal Crop Insurance Act. It defines "beginning farmer or rancher" as someone with fewer than 10 years of farming experience (up from 5 years) and creates a tiered system of percentage-point adjustments for insurance premium subsidies over 10 years of participation. For the first two years, participants receive 15 percentage points of subsidy, decreasing to 13 for year three, 11 for year four, and 10 for years five through ten. The policy directly affects new farmers seeking federal crop insurance coverage by reducing their out-of-pocket costs during their initial decade in farming.
