Whole-Farm Revenue Protection

Common Crop Insurance Policy & Area Risk Protection Insurance ^{1, 2}

Background

The Risk Management Agency (RMA) was asked whether WFRP provides coverage of preexisting causes of loss on a farm operation. As with most Federal Crop Insurance Corporation policies, the WFRP policy has a list of insured and uninsured causes of loss during the insurance period. The WFRP policy also has requirements for producers to identify any damage to annual and perennial commodities insured under WFRP.

Due to changes in WFRP commodity lists for the 2017 crop year, some commodities may now have multiple commodity codes available, a primary commodity code, and separate commodity codes related to specific types or practices of the commodity. For example, actuarial documents may list the primary commodity code and separate commodity codes for specific types or practices, such as Fresh Market and Processing, or Irrigated, Nonirrigated, Summerfallow, and Continuous cropping.

Background

The Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 (Farm Bill) enacted on December 20, 2018, includes language in Section 11122 to research ways to reduce paperwork and recordkeeping requirements for direct marketed commodities under the Whole-Farm Revenue Protection (WFRP) plan of insurance. As a result, RMA presented several changes to the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation Board of Directors (FCIC Board). In addition, RMA worked with stakeholders to identify other improvements to WFRP not related to the Farm Bill.
