Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program Enhancement Act of 2025
This bill removes exclusions for grazing crops and grasses from the Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP), expanding eligibility for disaster aid to farmers who grow these crops. Previously, farmers raising crops used for grazing were excluded from NAP benefits, but this change would allow them to access the same disaster assistance as other farmers. The Secretary of Agriculture must issue new regulations within 90 days of the bill's enactment to implement these changes. The policy directly affects ranchers and farmers who rely on grazing land for livestock, providing them with access to federal disaster support during crop failures or natural disasters.
