Dr. Tom Zacharias, President of National Crop Insurance Services, says lawmakers and industry leaders have consistently emphasized the need to improve farmer access to crop insurance. “There were also investments made in the delivery system, some changes in the structure of reimbursements back to the agents and the companies, which is an important enhancement.” Zacharias says growers can expect improved premium support options and clearer pathways to buy-up coverage, helping reduce market and production uncertainty. He adds that farmer satisfaction remains high, and the system is focused on continuous improvement as new programs roll out nationwide.
