New FCIC 5-crop pilot program approved by Congress
Congress voted 5,000 600 for operation of the FCIC and set next year as an experimental phase. Five crops are covered: winter wheat in 200 counties, cotton in 58, corn and flax in 50, and tobacco in 35. Cotton was insured in 600 counties this year, flax in 232, corn and tobacco in 19 counties. The plan requires at least 200 farms or one third of county farms insured. The government may reject applications deemed high risk and the FCIC will hire its own field staff with full control. The program will explore mutual insurance, private company underwriting, and the current government insurances, with possible expansion to two additional crops in up to 20 counties each after counties are assigned.
