This week's Open Mic guest is Marcia Bunger, administrator of the USDA's Risk Management Agency. The crop insurance program is listed by many farm groups as the industry's most significant risk management tool, and participation has grown in both acres covered and products offered by the agency. The program price tag has increased due to participation and as well by devastating natural disasters across the country. Policies for dairy, specialty crops, and double-crop acres have brought more farmers to the table. Bunger says risk management tools are essential for farmers seeking loans to plant crops or expand their operations.

It's summertime and recreation is on the mind! The top 3 recreational uses we are seeing farmer landowners share with others are (1) nature recreation, like letting CSA members onto the farm for birding and hiking, (2) hunting access for friends and family that's free or paid, and (3) foraging by individuals in the community. The big risk here is injuries and injuries can occur in many ways. In this episode, we share two strategies that are proactive and designed to manage the risk of visitor injuries, while also giving you a defense if those bad things do come to pass.Recommended Resources:Episode 50: Protecting Your Foraged and Wild Foods Revenuehttps://assets.recenter.tamu.edu/documents/articles/570.pdfhttps://agrilifeextension.tamu.edu/asset-external/ranchers-agricultural-leasing-handbook-grazing-hunting-and-livestock-leases/This material is funded in partnership by USDA, Risk Management Agency, under award number RMA22CPT0012392.

Federally-subsidized crop and livestock insurance is an important risk management tool available to farmers and ranchers nationwide. However, some farmers may encounter barriers to purchasing a policy or filing a claim due discrimination on the basis of race and ethnicity, as well as other legally protected characteristics discussed in Episode 54: Addressing Discrimination in Crop and Livestock Insurance. When faced with this reality, farmers may decide that the best solution lies outside of the legal system. In this episode, Kate and Bonita explore real feedback from farmers on how choosing not to engage with a risk management tool can be a resilient decision.This material is funded in partnership by USDA, Risk Management Agency, under award number RMA22CPT0012392.

Federal crop insurance programs do not cover income from wild-crafted products that farmers might sell alongside their cultivated goods.

Deciding on which insurance policies to pursue can feel like a puzzle, and crop insurance is no exception. At Farm Commons, we believe that an informed decision is an effective decision. With the recent update to the federal Micro Farm crop insurance program, farmers and ranchers are building on their deep wisdom about what's best for their businesses by asking key questions to make an informed decision on whether or not to pursue coverage through this program. In this episode, Kate and Bonita share feedback from farmers about the Micro Farm crop insurance program and why it would or wouldn't work for their business. Tune in to learn their thoughts!This episode builds on the legal background of the Micro Farm policy and Whole Farm Revenue Protection crop insurance program shared in Episode 47: Crop Insurance Options for Diversified Farms and Ranches.This material is funded in partnership by USDA, Risk Management Agency, under award number RMA22CPT0012392.

Do you know what steps you need to to take if and when you need to file a claim? If you're not sure or you need a refresher, don't worry and tune in!In this episode, we explain what crop and livestock insurance and other liability insurance policies typically cover and what they don't.

Discrimination pervades many areas of life, and agriculture is no exception. While discrimination in the areas of farmland access and agricultural lending are well documented, discrimination in insurance is not often addressed. If you've encountered issues purchasing or updating a federal crop or livestock insurance policy, or had a claim denied when a peer with similar circumstances had theirs approved, you may be wondering if discrimination is at play. In this episode we take a hard look at how discrimination can occur at the stages of purchasing, updating, or making a claim on federal crop and livestock insurance, and what you can do about it. You'll walk away from this episode understanding how to spot discrimination and options for filing a complaint and moving forward if you suspect discrimination has occurred.

Crop Insurer Can Recover Over payments from Farmer One of the maxims of farming is the imperative each year to risk the "up-front costs" of sowing in return for the never-guaranteed prospect of "back-end revenue" from reaping. The Federal Crop Insurance Act helps farmers to manage these uncertainties through a crop insurance system, which the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation oversees. Under this federal program, farmers can purchase insurance from the Insurance Corporation or from an approved insurance provider that the Insurance Corporation reinsures. In Edgar Miller v. United States Department Of Agriculture; Risk Management Agency; Federal Crop Insurance Corporation, No. 22-1209, United States Court of Appeals, Sixth Circuit (January 3, 2023) the Sixth Circuit was asked to be the last word on a series of disputes over payments and over-payments of crop insurance claims. For years Edgar Miller purchased crop insurance, hoping to protect his farm from poor harvests. While the insurance for the most part served that purpose, it also brought him three federal lawsuits, an arbitration, and an adverse agency determination from the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation. Miller challenged this last decision-the agency's decision-under the Administrative Procedure Act. The district court rejected the challenge. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/barry-zalma/support
