Washington reports a crop insurance scheme under serious consideration as a new form of farm relief. It could be government operated, mixed with private effort, or fully private with government underwriting until self-sustaining.

John Irwin Smith notes partisanship and public fatigue amid debates on budget, liberty, and policy effectiveness.
