The USDA’s Risk Management Agency will make a one-time, Congressionally-mandated payment to Approved Insurance Providers administering eligible crop insurance contracts for 2022 and 2023 reinsurance year specialty crops. The payments will provide additional compensation to agents delivering crop insurance to farmers across America. The total funding available is $30 million, and RMA will distribute funds to AIPs proportionally, based on their liabilities for eligible crop insurance contracts for 2022 and 2023 reinsurance year specialty crops. “The additional payment recognizes the great service Approved Insurance Providers and crop insurance agents provide America’s farmers,’ said RMA Administrator Pat Swanson. “We look forward to continuing our progress in expanding crop insurance to specialty crops by engaging directly with the agents servicing these growers.” Funding for the payments comes through the American Relief Act of 2025. The American Relief Act was signed into law on December 21, 2024, and extended the 2018 Farm Bill for one year.
