Flax Revenue and Expanded Unit Options for Crop Insurance

The Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (FCIC) is amending its regulations to allow revenue coverage for flax under the Small Grain Crop Insurance Provisions, to combine written agreement deadlines in the Dry Bean Crop Insurance Provisions to match other insurance policies, to expand the availability of enterprise and optional units for some specialty and perennial crops, and to make clarifications and corrections to the Area Risk Protection Insurance, Basic Provisions; Common Crop Insurance Policy, Basic Provisions; and several Crop Provisions. The changes will be effective for the 2025 and succeeding crop years for crops with a contract change date on or after November 30, 2024. For all other crops, the changes to the policies made in this rule are applicable for the 2026 and succeeding crop years.
