Specialty Crops
Specialty crops include fruits and vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, and horticulture nursery crops.
Expansion of the Whole-Farm Revenue Protection insurance program, the first Federal crop insurance program to be available in every state and county in the U.S., provides the risk management safety net to all commodities on all farms across the U.S., including specialty crops.
