Whole Farm Crop Insurance Improvement Act of 2018

Summary

Whole Farm Crop Insurance Improvement Act of 2018 This bill modifies requirements for the Department of Agriculture (USDA) Whole-Farm Revenue Protection (WFRP) crop insurance policy, which covers all commodities on a farm under a single policy. The bill requires USDA to: expand coverage for beginning farmers under the Non-Insured Crop Disaster Assistance Program to allow the farmers to develop the revenue history necessary to qualify for WFRP; allow insurance providers to use alternative compensation structures based on the time necessary to write and administer the plans; ensure that that all producers, including producers with expected revenue from an operation that is greater than 35% of the revenue for the previous year, are able to obtain coverage; and reduce paperwork requirements for the program.
