A crop agency manager with COUNTRY Financial is encouraging specialty crop ad small farmers to explore options through USDA’s new micro farm insurance program.
Doug Yoder tells Brownfield this crop insurance tool, available for 2022, is directed toward specialty crop producers and micro farms that make $100,000 or less annually to protect against a drop in revenue like yield or price.
“There is not any other protection out there to my knowledge for specialty crop producers- there is some grant money I know, but this is the only true risk management tool I am aware of.
