Federal crop insurance plan nears approval in Senate
A federal crop insurance program may start next year if the House passes the bill approved nearly unanimously by the Senate. It begins with wheat and a $100 million jackpot, expands to corn, cotton, tobacco, and others later, with premiums paid in wheat or cash and rates tied to losses from 1930 to 1935. The plan covers drought and flood losses beyond farmer control and is seen as a practical step toward income stability for farmers.
