USDA’s Risk Management Agency is now offering revenue protection coverage for flax. This option is already available for barley, rye, wheat and oats. For farmers who want yield coverage without electing one of the new revenue coverage options, there are only a couple changes. The guarantee will be the projected price offered for revenue protection, instead of a price election established by RMA. The replanting payment for flax will also be determined by using the projected price, instead of a price election. For 2025, RMA is also adjusting the written agreement deadlines for dry beans to match other insurance policies.
